lang="EN-US">The Department of Animal- and Aquacultural
Sciences, Faculty of Biosciences, at the Norwegian
University of Life Sciences (NMBU) invites applications for
a permanent, full time position as an Associate Professor in
Computational and Statistical Genomics. The successful
candidate will join the multidisciplinary Genome Biology
research group, which possess expertise in genetics,
evolutionary and comparative genomics, bioinformatics and
systems biology. This group includes two full-time
professors, one associate professor, twelve researchers,
seven PhD students and nine research technicians, teaming up
within Centre for Integrative Genetics (CIGENE;

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"
lang="EN-US">). CIGENE has a strong aqua- and agri- research
profile, with key strengths in application of ‘omics’ data
to understand the genetic architecture of complex traits.
The group has a track-record in high-impact publishing and
development of invaluable genomic resources for agricultural
and marine species. CIGENE has also established excellent
wet lab facilities for automated high-throughput omics, as
well as a connected dry-lab with bioinformatics specialists.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background:white"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"
lang="EN-US">The successful candidate will play a key role
in developing the group’s research portfolio and teaching
within computational and statistical genomics. The person
will be central for implementation of computing, analysis
and software development essential to meet the challenges
arising from the rapid growth and complexity of omics data.
Abilities to critically assimilate information across
disciplines (molecular genomics, systems genetics and
statistics), talent for structuring and analysing data, and
interest in teamwork and interdisciplinary cooperation are
essential for the position. The successful candidate will be
required to make a major contribution to the development of
genome biology research and teaching at the Faculty of
Biosciences. This include teaching and developing study
programs, writing of grant applications and publishing in
peer reviewed journals. Communicating key results and new
methodologies to industry, and engaging with industry
partners will also be a part of the position. The appointed
candidate will take part in the Department’s teaching and
supervision of BSc, MSc and PhD students and participate in
administrative work at the department, faculty and
university level. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
