Candidates with interests in bioinformatics, integrative systems biology and other areas of computational biology are encouraged to apply. This is an exciting opportunity for an outstanding young investigator to play a leading role in advancing the computational biology and bioformatics research and education programmes at a leading Danish university. We are particularly interested in recruiting an investigator with a research programme that complements or expands our current activities. *Requirements and Expectations* *Research.* The successful candidate is expected to hold a PhD degree in a relevant field, several years of postdoctoral experience, and a research profile in computational biology as documented by publications in premier international journals. He/she must have an ambition to advance computational biology and bioinformatics research by establishing a dynamic, creative and internationally oriented research group and attract external research funding. Assistant professors are expected to qualify for an associate professorship within three years of employment. *Teaching.* The successful candidate will contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching in bioinformatics, computational biology, biochemistry and molecular biology and related topics. This will also include supervision of students for bachelor and master projects. In addition, the assistant professor is eventually expected to supervise PhD students and postdocs. *What can SDU offer* SDU has a strong tradition of collaboration between the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Health Sciences. Biochemistry, molecular cell biology, and biomedicine spanning basic biology to clinical physiological studies are prioritized areas at University of Southern Denmark and Odense University Hospital (OUH). Areas of particular interest at SDU/OUH include 1) metabolism and metabolic diseases, including diabetes; 2) pathogenic bacteria and antibiotics resistance; 3) cell cycle regulation and cancer biology; 4) protein structure, interaction and function, including disease mechanisms; 5) membrane biology and biophysics; 6) functional proteomics, cell signalling networks and epigenetic regulation; 7) molecular mechanisms of aging; 8) RNA-biology, in particular aberrant post transcriptional processing in inherited disease; 9) lipid biochemistry and lipidomics. Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) has a staff of 25 tenured investigators. BMB has long standing strengths in the fields of molecular mechanisms of cellular metabolism, differentiation and regulatory networks, including transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms of regulation. The department is well-known internationally for its top level proteomics and biological mass spectrometry research. Other strong enabling technologies include next generation sequencing, metabolomics/lipidomics, bioimaging, and biocomputing. A recent major infrastructure grant from the VILLUM Foundation to establish the VILLUM Center for Bioanalytical Sciences made it possible to upgrade to the most advanced equipment in all these fields. Furthermore, the Faculty of Science is hosting the Danish Molecular Biomedical Imaging Center , a national centre for bioimaging. The successful candidate will have direct access to this unique combination of high powered omics platforms and advanced bioimaging technologies. The laboratories of the department will be completely renovated during the next three years, providing a modern infrastructure for top-level research and teaching.

The Center has been established at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, to promote basic and applied discovery research on human proteins of medical relevance. The Center comprises a wide range of expertise and resources including proteomics, protein production, bioinformatics and general characterization of disease mechanisms. The Programme for Disease Systems Biology consists of two research groups covering many systems level aspects of biology and medicine, including the integration of molecular-level data and healthcare data, for example laboratory test data and biomedical texts. If you still have questions about the positions, please contact Professor Søren Brunak: jobs at cpr.ku.dk *Responsibilities and tasks* The Translational Disease Systems Biology group led by Søren Brunak focuses on establishing early competitive advantage in disease-relevant computational analysis across the general areas of bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, systems biology and medical informatics. The PhD students will work on data-driven models of temporal disease development using a combination of molecular data and data from the healthcare sector, where the latter has the form of registry data or complete electronic patient records. These models will in part be descriptive and show how different diseases and diagnosis follow each other over long periods of time and in part predictive in the sense that longitudinal patterns of illnesses, medication and procedures will indicate future events. The models may be augmented by molecular level biomarker data from genomics or proteomics further increasing the predictive power. Prior knowledge of disease classification schemes and standard vocabularies will be an advantage. Projected start date: Autumn 2015 *Qualifications* The successful candidates will have strong qualifications or experience within several of the following areas: - Bioinformatics and systems biology at the molecular level - Medicine or pharmacology - Knowledge of biomedical resources and infrastructures - Healthcare data from registries and electronic patient records - Competence in statistics and/or machine learning techniques - Prior research experience with health care terminologies, schemes and ontologies, e.g. ICD9 and ICD10 The translational disease systems biology is highly multidisciplinary and collaborates with many other research groups nationally and internationally. Strong networking and team player skills are therefore preferred. As the candidate may run several projects in parallel, strong organizational skills and the ability to keep an overview are important. A medical or pharmaceutical background will be a strong advantage. *Formal requirements* To be accepted for the positions, it is a condition that your Master of Science degree is considered to be equivalent to a Danish Master of Science. It is a prerequisite that the PhD candidate is enrolled as a PhD student at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences according to the rules stipulated in the Ministerial order on the PhD programme at the universities (PhD order) from the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Higher Education and the guidelines for the PhD programme at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. *Place of employment and work* The employment is at CPR (www.cpr.ku.dk), University of Copenhagen, located in central Copenhagen. The research environment at CPR is ambitious and international, with approx. 30 different nationalities currently represented. The Center comprises modern laboratories, supercomputer resources and state-of-the-art facilities within protein science. Seminars with high-profile international speakers and regular internal research seminars are organized at the Center. The selected candidate should expect some travel activity. For more information on working and living in Denmark visit www.ism.ku.dk (International staff mobility) and www.workingconditions.ku.dk. *Terms of salary and employment* Salary, pension and terms of employment will be in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Academics Central organization. Currently, the monthly salary is around 25,500-30,800 DKK (around 3,400-4,100 €) plus 17.1 % in pension contribution. The Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC) have agreed on a protocol that makes it possible for all international researchers employed by the University to achieve a pension exemption, where the pension will be paid as salary. For more information about the different pension schemes: http://ism.ku.dk/onarrival/pension/ *Duration: *3 years *Application procedure* Your application should be submitted electronically to http://employment.ku.dk/phd/ Your application should include the following documents: 1.
