[SocBiN] JOB: Two researcher/postdoctoral positions – systems biology modelling (NMBU, Ås, Norway)

[Jon Olav Vik]

Position available: Two researcher/postdoctoral positions – systems biology
modelling (NMBU, Ås, Norway)


Application deadline: Saturday 2018-12-15.

Email enquiries welcome: Jon Olav Vik, jon.vik. at nmbu.no.


The Norwegian University of Life Sciences has two vacant researcher or
postdoc positions (up to two years) in systems biology of Atlantic salmon
metabolism. These are part of the Digital Salmon
<https://www.nmbu.no/prosjekter/digisal>, a transdisciplinary project using
experimental omics data on metabolic reaction networks. Ideal for modellers
seeking challenges and exposure to a world-class environment in integrative
genetics and systems biology.


The Digital Salmon (2016-2020, 4 M€) is the national flagship project in
digital production biology and part of the national consortium for
biotechnology, Digital Life Norway <https://digitallifenorway.org/gb/>. Its
objective is to establish a systems biology framework for adapting salmon
breeding and nutrition strategies to modern feedstuffs. The long-term goal
is to accumulate a library of various models of life processes in the
salmon body, to quickly construct suit-tailored computer simulations to
compute effective use of resources, for food security, fish welfare and
human health. Such a knowledge base will enable faster response to
challenges such as climate change, diseases, or scarcity of feedstuffs.


Main tasks:

   -

   Develop and validate genome-scale and tissue-specific metabolic
   reconstructions for salmon
   -

   Use these models to interpret multi-omics data from experiments on
   omega-3 metabolism under fish- vs plant-based feed, freshwater vs seawater,
   and more.
   -

   Develop a test suite of metabolic function for automatic quality
   control, documentation and benchmarking of our models.
