Job Description:
Computational Biology group at the Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, University of Tampere invites applications for postdoctoral researcher for a one-year position with possibility for extension. The planned commencement date for the position is January 1, 2018 or as mutually agreed. A postdoctoral researcher position is available in development of cell free DNA 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 of whole genome and DNA methylation sequencing data from the cell free tumor DNA - Development of algorithms for identification of cell type of origin of tumor DNA - Development of algorithms for mapping active regulatory pathways based on DNA fragment structure Main goal of the project is to build a model that can predict the activity of clinically actionable pathways based on targeted cell free DNA measurements in metastatic cancer. 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 one year with possibility for extension. The planned starting date for the position is 1 January, 2018. We offer a unique, youthful, well-resourced and interdisciplinary research environment that combines both computational and experimental research.
