*Postdoc position on computational proteomics at the Novo Nordisk
Foundation Center for Protein Research*

A postdoc position is available in the Cellular Network Biology group at
The 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, including biomedical texts.

*Responsibilities and tasks*

The Cellular Network Biology group (
www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/jensen/) led by Lars Juhl
Jensen focuses on network-based analysis of proteins and their
posttranslational modifications in the context of cellular signaling and
disease. The postdoc will work on developing novel computational methods
for analysis of proteomics data and apply them to unpublished
state-of-the-art mass-spectrometry data in close collaboration with the
proteomics groups at CPR.

Projected start date: Early 2017.

*Qualifications*

Candidates for the postdoctoral positions must hold a PhD degree (or
equivalent) within a relevant discipline and have experience with
programming and large-scale data analysis. The successful candidates will
have strong qualifications or experience within several of the following
areas:

   - Bioinformatics / computational biology
   - Statistical data analysis
   - Mass spectrometry / proteomics
   - Programming in Python and/or R

The cellular network biology group is highly multidisciplinary and
international. Members are expected to collaborate both within the group,
within the center, nationally, and internationally; strong networking and
team player skills are therefore valued.

*Place of employment and work*

The employment is at CPR, 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.

(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 32,000-33,700 DKK
(around 4,200-4,500 €) 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
