Job Description:
Background
The research in the Disease Systems Biology Program is headed by Prof. Søren Brunak and independent group leader Prof. Lars Juhl Jensen. By joining the program you will be part of a young and dynamic team consisting of international researchers. The Disease Systems Biology Program has close national and international collaborations with hospitals, proteomics centers, and research environments in the general area of computational systems biology. The program shares resources and work closely with the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis at the Technical University of Denmark and its research groups. The program has a strong foundation in analyzing massive amounts of data from widely different experimental technologies and combining it with text mining of the biomedical literature. Overall, the efforts of the program make it possible to engage more strongly in non-hypothesis driven research, which aims to make discoveries from that emerge from the data rather than being the result of specific experiments designed to confirm or disprove given hypotheses.
Job description
The Disease Systems Biology Program at the NNF Center for Protein Research (CPR) offers one postdoc position for appointment at the latest by March 2014. The position is financially supported by the University of Copenhagen 2016 program.
The candidate will primarily focus on computational analysis of mass-spectrometry-based proteomics data. This includes developing new, improved methods for analyzing spectra, optimization of analysis protocols, and application of these to specific datasets. The focus will be on improving the identification of post-translationally modified peptides, which arise in cellular signaling processes and through chemical modification, in particular in ancient samples, which may also consist of mixtures of species. The work will involve close collaboration with the Proteomics Program at CPR. You can read more about the research projects at the Disease Systems Biology
Program onhttp://www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/jensen/
Qualifications
•Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. degree in science or equivalent.
•An analytical aptitude of devising innovative solutions to scientific and technical problems.
•Experience with programming is required, preferably in as scripting language like Python.
•Knowledge in molecular biology or biochemistry is required.
•Prior experience with bioinformatics or statistical data analysis is highly desirable.
•Experience with analysis of proteomics data would be considered a distinct advantage.
•Good communication skills, both oral and written.
•Demonstrate enthusiasm, motivation, flexibility and confidence.
For further information, please contact group leader Lars Juhl Jensen by e-mail lars.juhl.jensen@cpr.ku.dk
Place of employment and work
The employment is at the NNF Center for Protein Research (CPR – www.cpr.ku.dk), University of Copenhagen, located in central Copenhagen. The research environment at CPR is vibrant, ambitious, and international, with approx. 30 different nationalities currently represented. The Center comprises modern laboratories 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. English is the working language at the Center.
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 31,800 – 33,500 DKK per month (approximately 5,700-6,000 USD/month) plus 17.1 % in pension contribution.
