Job Description:
We are inviting highly motivated young researchers to apply and take part in the further development and expansion of the existing eScience platforms for efficient and fast advanced data integration and dissemination for health related research. The Danish Biobank Register developed at the Danish National Biobank is an existing and fully working system that supports the register based health related research with very flexible and rapid search functionalities to identify biological materials stored in various biobanks in Denmark, Greenland and Faroe Islands. The system integrates medical data automatically from numerous Danish health registers with information of existing biological material from the same individuals, including blood, tissues, and other sample types. Presently, the Biobank Register allows searches among 15.5 million samples, from more than 5 million Danish individuals.
Description
The main goal of this post doc project is to further develop and expand the applicability of the existing Danish Biobank Register system to become a Nordic Biobank Register system by integrating sample data from various Nordic biobanks from outside Denmark. Building on an already established collaboration, the project will start with incorporating data from the Norwegian HUNT study (http://www.ntnu.edu/hunt), and the Norwegian Cancer Registry including its biobank (the Janus Biobank). Next, the ambition of the project is to expand the Biobank Register to be applicable for all Nordic countries as soon as the integrated system can be adapted to the local conditions in these countries. The project also aims to introduce additional features into the existing Biobank Register system. One example would be an intelligent search algorithm giving information about existing genetic data associated with various samples and sample collections. These studies should be performed based on the newest methodologies and technologies in data integration, data processing, as well as distributed and concurrent systems in the biomedical domain. Applicants must have received a doctoral degree in computer science, bioinformatics, or a related field by the start date of the post doc period. Successful applicants should be enthusiastic and self-motivated with excellent track records in their field and with strong independent research experience in bioinformatics, and/or analysis and integration of data, and/or distributed systems. Previous experience with SQL databases and object oriented programming will be considered an advantage. Ideally, candidates should also be experienced in collaborating with scientists from other disciplines, be fluent in English, and have good interpersonal and communication skills.
