挪威奥斯陆大学国家医院计算生物学和生物信息学博士后职位

A bioinformatics or computational biology postdoctoral position is available at Oslo University Hospital – Norwegian Radium Hospital. The candidate will work at the Department of Pathology at the Norwegian Radium Hospital. The appointment is a full-time position for three years.

The work tasks will be to design next generation predictive models for detecting functional gene regulation (i.e. driver mutation) in cancer by incorporating diverse information to the model, e.g. large publicly available datasets obtained under various cell growth conditions, the cancer genome atlas and datasets of histone modification and exome sequencing data. The new computational method will eventually be applied on our in-house high-throughput sequencing data such as exome sequencing data from Lymphoma cancer patients, which can then be used for hypothesis-driven laboratory experimentation. The project involves both national and international research collaborations.

We seek for a highly motivated person with good knowledge in molecular biology, human genetics, data mining and computational programming. Ideally, the candidate should hold a PhD in bioinformatics or computational biology. However, PhD in physics, computer science or mathematics may also be considered if the candidate can show his/her potential in learning molecular biology and human genetics.
