Job Description:
A postdoc position in bioinformatics is available for a highly motivated and independent candidate in the Andersen Group at BRIC, University of Copenhagen.
The focus of our research is translational medicine in primary human liver and hepatobiliary cancers with emphasis on next-generation sequencing in the characterization of tumor heterogeneity (e.g. single-cell RNAseq), as well as prognostic or predictive biomarker discovery to aid novel therapeutics and clinical efficacy. It is our goal to improve diagnosis, clinical decision-making and ultimately patient outcome through translational and pharmacogenomics discoveries. This is facilitated in our Group via interdisciplinary research as well as a strong international network of scientific and clinical collaborators.
Project(s)
The successful candidate will join a research group that utilizes genome-wide technologies and approaches including genomic and epigenomic profiling, NGS and single-cell genomics. We use genomics-driven strategies to characterize and classify patient subgroups to identify oncogenic drivers and addiction networks with the aim of improving diagnostics and treatment. We unite research directly on patient samples and clinicopathological data with basic molecular in vitro and in vivo models.
A requirement for this position is a strong track record in bioinformatics. Emphasis will be given to candidates with background in NGS analysis with a focus on single-cell RNAseq and non-coding RNAs.
Place of employment and work
The employment and place of work is at BRIC, University of Copenhagen. BRIC is located in the Biocenter, close to the centre of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories and a number of core facilities shared between the 23 research groups at BRIC and the neighbouring Finsen Laboratory and a well-functioning administrative and technical support. We have regular journal clubs, data clubs, seminars with invited speakers and a young researchers club ASAP and our own PhD programme, MoMeD. BRIC actively participates in the European alliance, EU-life, consisting of 13 excellent life science research institutions http://www.eu-life.eu/

Terms of salary and employment
The appointment is for 3 years, and is scheduled to start early-2016.
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 starts around 32.095 DKK/ca. 4.250 Euro plus pension. Depending on qualifications, a higher salary may be negotiated.
Non-Danish and Danish applicants may be eligible for tax reductions, if they hold a PhD degree and have not lived in Denmark the last 10 years.
The position is covered by the “Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff at the Universities” of June 28, 2013.
