Dear list,

We have an available position in our DigiSal
<http://www.nmbu.no/om/fakulteter/vetbio/institutter/iha/forskning/prosjekter/node/24555>
project on the systems biology of farmed salmon, described below.


Best regards,

Jon Olav


*Position available: Researcher, systems biology of farmed salmon (NMBU,
Ås, Norway)*


The Department of Animal and Aquacultural Sciences seeks a *systems*
or *mathematical
*or *computational biologist* to work on the *systems biology of farmed
salmon* (3-year researcher position with possibility of extension). Salmon
farming is a big industry in Norway and ripe for systems biology
applications thanks to the recent sequencing of the salmon genome.


The project “Towards the Digital Salmon: From a reactive to a pre-emptive
research strategy in aquaculture (DigiSal <http://tinyurl.com/digisal>)” is
part of Digital Life Norway
<http://www.forskningsradet.no/en/Funding/BIOTEK2021/1253973230625>, the
first call dedicated to systems biology by the Research Council of Norway.
DigiSal will promote sustainable growth of salmon farming by building
model-based knowledge about how salmon responds to novel sustainable feed
ingredients. This project combines nutritional expertise, cutting-edge
salmon genomics, high-throughput omics technologies and model-based
analysis of omics data.


The successful candidate will work within the Centre for Integrative
Genetics (CIGENE <http://www.cigene.no/>), which includes comprehensive
molecular lab facilities and a strong environment dedicated to
bioinformatics and mathematical modeling.



Main tasks: Analyze how salmon metabolism depends on variation in diet and
genotype, based on omics and microscopy data and using a variety of
modelling frameworks, both top-down multivariate analysis and bottom-up
metabolic network modelling.

The successful applicant will be part of a highly inter-disciplinary group,
with possibilities for visits to collaborators in the Systems and Synthetic
Biology unit in Wageningen, the Netherlands. The researcher will work
closely with a dedicated systems biology informatics manager to ensure
findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable data and models.
