[Alan Wervick]

Two Scientific programmers at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for
Protein Research

Two positions as scientific programmers are available in the Translational
Disease Systems Biology group at Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein
Research (CPR – www.cpr.ku.dk). 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.

*Responsibilities and tasks*

The Translational Disease Systems Biology group (
www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/brunak/) 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 work will include publicly available prediction server construction, as
well as programmatic access to remote resources. Specifically, the tasks
will include further development of existing server side environment for
SOAP Web Services.

The successful candidate will be aiding scientific staff in developing
efficient software and algorithmic methods as well as improving the overall
computer infrastructure and services in disease-related applications. The
candidate will be developing, implementing and optimizing data integration
methods.

*Qualifications*

Candidates for the positions will have following qualifications:

- Fluency in Perl - Strong background in SOAP and REST Web Services

- Fluency in English, spoken and written

- Optional background in life sciences and/or bioinformatics

Start date: Spring 2016.

The Translational Disease Systems Biology group 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.

*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.
