Job Description:
A position as associate professor in the field of bioinformatics is available at the Department of Bio and Health Informatics (DTU Bioinformatics) at the Technical University of Denmark within the area of metagenomics. The research at DTU Bioinformatics is focused on benefitting from the wealth of new data and data types being generated within biomedical and life sciences to improve human and animal health and develop solutions to problems of biotechnological and industrial interest. A cornerstone in achieving this is the dedicated effort within DTU Bioinformatics to develop bioinformatics, quantitative genomics, metagenomics and systems biology methods and solutions to the challenge of handling and interpreting large scale and heterogeneous data. The department consists of three research sections (Section of Health Informatics, Section of Metagenomics and Epidemiology and Section of Systems Genomics) and has access to two core infrastructures (DMAC and Computerome). The work is centered on the following themes:
