Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

University of Copenhagen

Background

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) was established in 2010 to conduct fundamental research on metabolism. It is part of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. The Center has around 170 employees from all over the world. Its employees moved into new laboratories, offices and meeting rooms in the Maersk Tower in summer 2017. You can read more about us at http://cbmr.ku.dk

We are looking for a skilled and experienced bioinformatician at postdoctoral level, to join the group of Romain Barrès, which is part of the GECKO Consortium (Gametic Epigenetics Consortium against Obesity). This consortium, funded by a NNF Challenge Grant, aims to understand the cellular mechanisms by which environmentally-acquired epigenetic information transferred by spermatozoa to offspring can influence embryo development and predispose to obesity later in life. The GECKO Consortium is an international group of researchers from the University of Copenhagen, the University of Sydney and the University of Chicago, giving many opportunities for collaboration and insight from a variety of experts. The start date is October 1, 2019.

Profile

We are seeking a skilled and experienced bioinformatician to perform bioinformatic comparative analyses of the responses to nutritional stress across species. In particular, DNA methylation and small non-coding RNA expression in spermatozoa will be assessed using next-generation sequencing. The applicant is expected to work and consult with colleagues concerning issues of data analysis and interpretation. Additionally, the applicant is expected to formulate hypotheses, initiate projects, and manage them through to completion. Candidates with additional background in mathematical modelling, machine learning and molecular biology would be highly regarded.

Essential criteria
- PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology or related field.
- Very strong experience in programming languages.
- Experience in next generation sequencing
- Strong experience with the Linux/UNIX environment, command lines, shell scripting and high-performance computing.

- Knowledge of epigenetic mechanisms, DNA methylation and small RNA biology.
- Experience in collecting and processing large-scale scientific data.
- Experience in analysis of poorly annotated genomes and/or comparative genomic analysis.
- Knowledge in Git and demonstrated capacity for collaborative programming.
- Experience in reactive programming.
