The planned commencement date for the position is January 1, 2018 or as mutually agreed. A postdoctoral researcher position is available in development of cancer genomics analysis. Computational Biology group is part of the Center of Excellence in Tumour Genetics research and currently consists of 35 members with interdisciplinary and international backgrounds. Main responsibilities of the position are: - Analysis and integration of large public and in-house generated cancer genomics datasets - Development and application of large scale data analysis using cloud computing infrastructure - Development of new algorithms for analysis of e.g. tumor evolution, selection in regulatory genome, or annotation of genome aberrations. Main goal of the project is to develop new methods that enable extending the cancer genome analysis beyond state of the art. Qualifications: We are recruiting an outstanding PhD or strong candidate with MSc in computational sciences (e.g. bioinformatics, computer sciences, mathematics, statistics, etc) with strong drive and an ability to conduct independent research. In case a MSc is selected, the position will be filled as a doctoral student position. Position is offered for two years with possibility for extension.
