Dear list,


Two researcher positions in systems biology modelling of salmon metabolism
are available at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Centre for
Integrative Genetics, as described below. Email enquiries welcome: Jon Olav
Vik (jon.vik at nmbu.no) or Simen Sandve (simen.sandve at nmbu.no).


Best regards,

*Two researcher positions - systems biology modelling of salmon metabolism
– ref.no <http://ref.no>. 16/04447*


Two researcher positions (2-3 years with possibility of extension) in
systems biology of Atlantic salmon metabolism are available at the
Department of Animal and Aquacultural Sciences, NMBU, Norway. 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 genomics, bioinformatics,
and mathematical modeling.



The researchers will work on two interlinked systems biology projects,
DigiSal <http://tinyurl.com/digisal> and GenoSysFat
<http://tinyurl.com/GenoSysFat>, promoting sustainable growth of salmon
farming by building model-based knowledge about salmon metabolism. The
projects are highly interdisciplinary and combine expertise in physiology
and nutrition, cutting-edge high-throughput omics technologies and
model-based analysis of omics data. We will encourage visits to
international collaborators such as the Systems and Synthetic Biology unit
in Wageningen, the Netherlands.



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. There will also be opportunities to link
modelling work to ongoing evolutionary genomics projects to address
questions regarding consequences of genome duplication on the function of
metabolic systems.



*Qualifications*

*Required*

   - PhD in systems biology, computational biology, bioinformatics, physics
   or mathematics

*Preferred*

   - Experience with analyzing and visualizing multivariate data
   - Experience with constraint-based modelling
   - Experience with integrating -omics data and biological knowledge
   - Proficiency in R, Python or similar for simulations and data  analysis
