[SocBiN] Associate Professor in Computational and Statistical Genomics

[Torgeir Rhoden Hvidsten]

Position as Associate Professor in Computational and Statistical 
Genomics at NMBU, Norway:

The Department of Animal- and Aquacultural Sciences, Faculty of 
Biosciences, at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) invites 
applications for a permanent, full time position as an Associate 
Professor in Computational and Statistical Genomics. The successful 
candidate will join the multidisciplinary Genome Biology research group, 
which possess expertise in genetics, evolutionary and comparative 
genomics, bioinformatics and systems biology. This group includes two 
full-time professors, one associate professor, twelve researchers, seven 
PhD students and nine research technicians, teaming up within Centre for 
Integrative Genetics (CIGENE; www.cigene.no <http://www.cigene.no/>). 
CIGENE has a strong aqua- and agri- research profile, with key strengths 
in application of ‘omics’ data to understand the genetic architecture of 
complex traits. The group has a track-record in high-impact publishing 
and development of invaluable genomic resources for agricultural and 
marine species. CIGENE has also established excellent wet lab facilities 
for automated high-throughput omics, as well as a connected dry-lab with 
bioinformatics specialists.

*The position*

The successful candidate will play a key role in developing the group’s 
research portfolio and teaching within computational and statistical 
genomics. The person will be central for implementation of computing, 
analysis and software development essential to meet the challenges 
arising from the rapid growth and complexity of omics data. Abilities to 
critically assimilate information across disciplines (molecular 
genomics, systems genetics and statistics), talent for structuring and 
analysing data, and interest in teamwork and interdisciplinary 
cooperation are essential for the position. The successful candidate 
will be required to make a major contribution to the development of 
genome biology research and teaching at the Faculty of Biosciences. This 
include teaching and developing study programs, writing of grant 
applications and publishing in peer reviewed journals. Communicating key 
results and new methodologies to industry, and engaging with industry 
partners will also be a part of the position. The appointed candidate 
will take part in the Department’s teaching and supervision of BSc, MSc 
and PhD students and participate in administrative work at the 
department, faculty and university level.

*Application deadline: 15^th March 2018.*
