[SocBiN] Postdoc positions in Disease Systems Biology at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research

[Alan Wervick]

*Postdoc positions in Disease Systems Biology at the Novo Nordisk
Foundation Center for Protein Research  *

A number of postdoc positions are available in the Translational Disease
Systems 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, for example laboratory test data and biomedical texts.

nanna.birch at cpr.ku.dk

*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 postdoc(s) will work on
data-driven models of temporal disease development using a combination of
molecular data and data from the healthcare sector, where the latter has
the form of clinical, registry data or complete electronic patient records.
These models will in part be descriptive and show how different diseases
and diagnosis follow each other over long periods of time and in part
predictive in the sense that longitudinal patterns of illnesses, medication
and procedures will indicate future events. The models may be augmented by
molecular level biomarker data from genomics or proteomics further
increasing the predictive power. Prior knowledge of disease classification
schemes and standard vocabularies will be an advantage.

Projected start date: Winter 2017.

*Qualifications*
Candidates for the postdoctoral positions must hold a PhD degree (or
equivalent). The successful candidates will have strong qualifications or
experience within several of the following areas:

• Bioinformatics and systems biology at the molecular level
• Competences within statistics and/or machine learning techniques
• Medicine, pharmacology or genomics
• Project management of interdisciplinary research projects within
translational bioinformatics
• Experience with data structures, databases, and data architectures
• Knowledge of biomedical resources and infrastructures
• Broad understanding of healthcare data from national registries and
electronic patient records from hospitals
• Prior research experience with healthcare terminologies and ontologies
• Experience with CDISC

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.

*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.

*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 32,700-34,400 DKK
plus 17.1 % in pension contribution. The position is covered by the Job
Structure for Academic Staff at Universities 2013.

*Duration*: 2 years

*Application procedure *
Your application should be submitted electronically to:

http://employment.ku.dk/faculty/

Your application should include the following documents:

1. Motivated letter of application
2. Curriculum vitae, incl. education and experience
3. Copy of diplomas/degree certificate(s)
4. List of publications

*Deadline for application: October 10th 2017 *

After the expiry of the deadline for applications, the authorized
recruitment manager selects applicants for assessment on the advice of the
Appointments Committee. All applicants are then immediately notified
whether their application has been passed for assessment by an expert
assessment committee. Selected applicants are notified of the composition
of the committee and each applicant has the opportunity to comment on the
part of the assessment that relates to the applicant him/herself. You can
