Academic employee sought for genomic data management and analysis position
in diagnostic laboratory

Department of Molecular Medicine (MOMA) at Aarhus University Hospital seeks
a motivated employee for management and analysis of large genomics data
sets aiming at patient diagnostics. The data sets are generated by our
local Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) facility and undergo a series of
analysis steps before genomic aberrations can be called and clinical
relevance evaluated. The successful candidate will primarily work with
workflow optimization, data analysis, and to a smaller extent contribute to
written analysis assessments made in collaboration with clinicians from the
hospital.

Our locally produced NGS data are used for diagnosis of hereditary
diseases, such as heart- and cancer diseases, and for identification of
cancer drug targets. In addition, we provide Next Generation Sequencing for
other laboratories at Aarhus University Hospital and provide genetic
analysis related to a range of diseases. The NGS data are being analyzed
with an automatic pipeline, which is constantly being extended. New methods
will be identified and tested before being incorporated. The identified DNA
variants are stored in databases, which are synchronized with international
databases, for inclusion in downstream analyses. These tasks will be
handled in collaboration with our team of bioinformaticians and molecular
biologists.

MOMA is accredited to provide diagnostic analysis answers and we are
therefore required to fully document and validate all procedures used. We
use locally maintained Linux servers as well as external super-computer
facilities at Aarhus University and in Region Midtjylland. Knowledge of the
Unix/Linux platform and programming experience, for instance in Python, is
a requirement as needed for pipeline development and local
system-maintenance. Given the focus on biological and clinical data,
medical or biological knowledge is advantageous, though not required.

We are looking for a motivated and qualified candidate, capable of working
responsibly and conscientiously with genomic patient data. We collaborate
closely with different researchers and diagnostic groups. It is therefore
important to possess good interpersonal skills, documentation skills, and
to be well-structured. The sucessful candidate could have a background in
bioinformatics, computer science, molecular biology or engineering and most
be interested in working with Big Data.

MOMA is a department of approximately 70 employees, focusing on research
and development and working primarily with ”personalized medicine”. We
generate knowledge about diseases, based on genomic analysis, and apply
these in the clinic.

The position is for three years with possibility of extension.

For further information about the position, please contact professor Torben
Ørntoft, phone +45 78455300 or e-mail: orntoft at clin.au.dk

Application deadline: Monday, 27 April 2015
