[SocBiN] Open Postdoc position in cancer systems biology at Karolinska Institutet / Swedish e-Science Research Centre

[Ola Spjuth]

Dear Colleagues,

We have an open position for a Postdoc at Karolinska Institutet for joining the Cancer Systems Biology work package of the flagship project e-Science for Cancer Prevention and Cure (eCPC) at the Swedish e-Science Research Centre (SeRC).

Using network theory (founded in discrete mathematics and graph theory) this project focuses on how putatively interesting genes (SNP arrays, next generation sequencing), splice variants (RNA-seq and Affymetrix exon arrays) and/or proteins cause aberrations in signalling pathways and influence cancer survival. More generally the project will integrate large-scale data from genetics via transcriptomics and proteomics to cell phenotypes, and use mathematical and statistical models to decipher the logic by with cancer cells make decisions to, for example, evade apoptosis, continuously grow and invade other tissues.

eCPC will apply eScience technologies to model cancer initiation and progression and to test prevention and cure strategies on both simulated and real data. An module based system will be set up for simulation and prediction of cancer initiation and progression based on computational models that integrate data from different sources, such as individual (e.g. genomic, proteomic), environmental, and life style factors. This eScience project will lift the current data handling, statistical model development and computations on large data and federated systems to a new level of integration. It presents a important challenge in health sciences which cannot be addressed without en interdisciplinary team of e-scientists working closely with disease domain epidemiological, clinical and molecular scientists.
