København Ø
Department of Biology, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering a position in molecular biology and bioinformatics for a Postdoc/assistant professor for the analysis of extrachromosomal circular DNA in 1 April 2024.
Job description – circular DNA as a marker for cancer
Extrachromosomal DNA circles are known from tumors where they carry proto-oncogenes and can induce tumorigenesis (DOI: 10.1016/j.tig.2022.02.007). Our recent data reveal that circular DNA is also found in blood plasma as circular circulating tumor DNA (circular ctDNA), suggesting that this new type of ctDNA can be an efficient marker for cancer. We now aim to find patterns of the circular DNA in blood plasma and tumors from pancreatic cancer that can serve as markers for cancer, relapse and prognosis of cancer. We will put emphasis on applying and developing cutting-edge purification and bioinformatics methods for identification of patterns in circular DNA and novel structural circular DNA variants. The position will include development of purification methods applicable for different cancers and bioinformatics analyses with output allowing for biological interpretations of the roles of circular DNA in cancer.
Description of the scientific environment You will be member of the Regenberg research team (Regenberg Lab). We explore the biology of circular DNA in eukaryotic systems taking advantage of our highly sensitive methods for detection and analysis of circular DNA in yeast, animals, and human cancer from whole genome data. You will be working in close contact with other scientists in bioinformatics, and experimentalists that purify, sequence and analyze the circular DNA in thousands of plasma and tumor samples from pancreatic-cancer patients. We offer an exciting international work environment in our renowned team with ample opportunities to develop a strong scientific career. The project will be carried out at the Section for Ecology and Evolution, Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen.
The assistant professor’s duties will primarily include research, including obligations with regard to publication/scientific communication and research-based teaching with associated examination obligations within circular DNA in cancer as described above. To a limited extent this may also include performance of other duties.
The postdoc’s duties will include research within circular DNA in cancer as described above as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.
