Job Description:
PhD position in bioinformatics and systems biology
The Department is ranked first in Norway with respect to the quality of its research, by the Research Council of Norway. The successful candidate will be working in the field of bioinformatics and systems biology in the Jonassen group at the Computational Biology Unit (CBU), http://www.uib.no/en/cbu .
The position is connected to the “Digital Life” program supported by the Research Council of Norway. The program aims to build and support trans-disciplinary life science research projects including molecular biology, bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling techniques. The candidate will work with development and application of bioinformatics and systems biology methods in context of projects involving collaboration with biological and medical research groups, including the Sea Lice Research Centre, www.slrc.no . In collaboration with mathematical groups, novel data analysis and modeling approaches will be explored.
We are seeking a candidate with a strong computational background. The candidate will use and develop state-of-the-art bioinformatics and systems biology methods integrating a range of different data sources to model chosen biological systems on a molecular level, and make predictions that can be tested experimentally by collaborating groups. When appropriate, software will be integrated with the Norwegian e-infrastructure for Life Science (NeLS) linked with the Norwegian Elixir Node, coordinated from the CBU.
Qualifications and personal qualities
• The applicant must hold a master's degree or the equivalent in computer science, bioinformatics, statistics, mathematics or a similar field of study, or must have submitted his/her master's thesis for assessment prior to the application deadline. It is a condition of employment that the master's degree has been awarded.
• Proven ability to program one or more relevant programming languages is a requirement
• Experience from bioinformatics or systems biology research is an advantage
• A solid foundation in mathematics (in particular statistics and dynamic modeling) is an advantage
• Knowledge of molecular biology is an advantage
• The applicant must be highly motivated, able to work independently in a structured manner and have the ability to cooperate with others
• Proficiency in both written and oral English is a requirement
About the PhD position
The duration of the PhD position is 4 years, of which 25 per cent of the time each year comprises obligatory duties associated with research, teaching and dissemination of results. The employment period may be reduced if you have previously been employed in a recruitment position.
