[Socbin] Bioinformatics postdoc opportunity

[Albin Sandelin]

Dear all,

I have 1-2 postdoc openings in applied computational biology at the 
Bioinformatics Centre at Copenhagen University.
I would appreciate it very much if you could forward the advert to good 
candidates.

Many thanks for your help,

Albin Sandelin

*Postdocs in applied computational biology/bioinformatics *

The Bioinformatics Centre, Department of Biology, University of 
Copenhagen is recruiting 1-2 postdocs to work on gene regulation 
bioinformatics in Albin Sandelin group(http://people.binf.ku.dk/albin/). 
The Bioinformatics Centre (www.binf.ku.dk <http://www.binf.ku.dk/>) 
employs around 40 researchers, and has many international connections 
with high-profile experimental groups. The group is housed in the newly 
built Biocenter in central Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Sandelin group is a well-funded, joint computational/experimental 
laboratory, focusing on transcriptomics, gene regulation and disease. 
The postdoc(s) will be working on various problems relating to gene 
regulation and core promoters in disease, typically analyzing novel and 
extremely rich data sets from the experimental part of the group or 
high-profile international collaborators. Special emphasis will be 
placed on CAGE data, alternative promoters and splicing in brain tissue 
and in disease cells. The work requires the successful candidate to 
interact with experimental biologists on an almost daily basis, and 
therefore collaborative skills and willingness to learn new things are 
important. As a postdoc you are expected to be able to work fairly 
independently and to be able to co-supervise Ph.D. and Master´s students.

Examples of work from the group include Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2011 Aug 7. 
doi: 10.1038/nsmb.2091 ,?Genome Res. 2009 Feb;19(2):255-65 , PNAS. 2008 
Feb 19;105(7):2604-9

We are seeking highly motivated individuals with a PhD or equivalent in 
bioinformatics or a mathematical discipline with a strong biological 
interest, and a substantial publication record in high-quality 
international journals. Applicants that are close to finishing their PhD 
degree are also welcome to apply. Applicants should either have strong 
modeling/applied statistics skills or strong documented experience in 
analyzing high-throughput sequencing data. In addition, we strongly 
value experience in one or more of the following: sequence analysis, 
machine learning, applied statistics and R, computer science and 
expression analysis. The candidate also needs to be highly proficient in 
a programming language such as Java, Perl or Python, and be comfortable 
with Linux systems. Fluency in spoken and written English is a strong 
requirement.

The deadline for application is November 1, 2011. We expect the 
successful candidates to start in the late fall of 2011. These positions 
will be funded by grants from the Novo Nordisk or Lundbeck Foundations.

The application must contain a filled-in application form from 
http://people.binf.ku.dk/albin/postdoc/SandelinPostdocApplicationForm.xls and 
a single pdf file consisting of?Cover letter (half to one 
page)?Curriculum vitae?List of publications?Transcript of university 
examinations (in English or Danish)?Contact details of 2 persons for 
references

Applications should be emailed as one pdf-file to job8 at bio.ku.dk 
<mailto:job8 at bio.ku.dk> marked "211-0079/11-5550" no later than 1. 
November 2011 , 12:00 noon.

The applications will be evaluated by an expert in the field to select 
those that qualify for the positions. Each applicant will receive the 
part of the evaluation that concerns her/him as well as the name of the 
expert. The main criterion for further consideration will be the 
research potential of the applicant.

The successful applicant will be hired as a postdoc at the Faculty of 
Science, University of Copenhagen, for an initial 2 year period. While 
negotiation for salary supplement is possible, the starting salary level 
is currently DKK 31.400 a month (approx. US $ 6000) plus contribution to 
a pension scheme. Terms of appointment and payment according to the 
Agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish 
Federation of Professional Associations (AC). Applications received 
after the deadline will not be considered. Contact person:
