Please see attached information. The application deadline is very soon: Sunday the 9th of March. Please apply or contact us if you are interested! --- Department of Informatics Head Engineer: System developer - ELIXIR infrastructure project/ Bioinformatics core Facility Position as Head Engineer, SKO (1087) available for a systems developer as part of the national Elixir project, at the Oslo node, having office at Department of Informatics, University of Oslo. It is a full time position for one year, with possibilities for prolongation. Starting date as soon as possible. The position will be located at the University of Oslo, with possible visits at local Oslo user sites as per arrangement. Languages: Norwegian or English. The ELIXIR project is a part of the recently established European bioinformatics Research infrastructure project (http://www.bioinfo.no/elixir, http://bit.ly/nfr_elixir). The position will also be an integral element of The joint Helse S?r-?st/UiO bioinformatics core facility, consisting of a group of service personnel with a broad combined bioinformatics competence. We provide services to users in the Oslo region, with an emphasis on the biomedical community. For further description of the range of services provided, please consult the Core Facility web page: http://core.rr-research.no/index.php?section=3. Job Description The successful candidate will be expected to be part of the service team, as well as to undertake development tasks within the Elixir.no/Bioinformatics core facility infrastructure. An important such task will be to participate in further developmental team effort of the Genomic HyperBrowser (http://hyperbrowser.uio.no), a software system catering to statistical analyses of massive genomic datasets. The aim is to find statistically and biologically significant relations between experimental genomic datasets, typically stemming from high-throughput genome sequencing. This system has been developed in Python (> 90.000 code lines), using NumPy for efficient vector calculations and Rpy2 for connecting to the R statistical platform.

The selected candidate will use mass cytometry (CyTOF) data to generate and refine signaling network models to describe TAIC plasticity. Our ultimate goal is to predict and validate network modulations that control TAIC plasticity. The candidate will perform experiments AND drive the development of the systems biology network model. The postdoctoral fellow will be located at the University of Zurich and will interact with Roche research groups. This project is supported by SystemsX, the Swiss Initiative in Systems Biology for 2 years with the option to extend for a third year. *The successful candidate will:* * Systematically modulate and reprogram TAICs to change their functional state at the bench * Become proficient in mass cytometry (CyTOF), a recently developed high-capacity single-cell proteomics technology * Use mass cytometry data to generate network models to predict in silico optimal modulation strategies * Experimentally validate predictions to discover potential new targets for therapeutic intervention * Aim for results relevant for human health, publishable in highly visible journals *Apply by:* Send a cover letter (including an explanation of your motivation), CV, and at least two references to Prof. B.
