Job Description:
Three postdoc positions in translational bioinformatics in the Won Group at BRIC, University of Copenhagen Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher to join the multi-disciplinary groups of bioinformatics, biology & medicine
Additional Info:
Our research/The group: We aim to further our understanding of the genome by integrating large-scale genomic datasets. We develop computational methods to exploit multi-dimensional genomic/epigenomic/transcriptomic landscapes to understand cell-type specific or spatio-temporal gene regulation. Using computational integrative approaches, we also study transcriptional mechanisms controlling cell differentiation and cell identify. Our areas of research include studying gene regulations in adipocyte, liver, cancer cells and stem cell differentiation. For this, we develop computational algorithms for various genome scale datasets including DNA methylation, single cell RNAseq, ChIP-exo, GROseq and HiC. More information is found at http://www.med.upenn.edu/wonlab/. Project/The research project(s) By applying integrative approaches or developing new computational algorithms, he/she will study gene regulatory mechanisms in, but not limited to, blood cancers, adipogenesis and cell differentiation. A candidate also can join bioinformatics research in precision oncology. Projects are highly multidisciplinary and closely collaborate with Translational Hematology Programme and BRIC members at the University of Copenhagen. Start: Preferably Apr 2018 or after agreement Duration: 2 positions are for 4 years and 1 position is for 3 years Hours per week: 37 Place of employment: The employment 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.
