Applications are invited for a position of postdoc in Computational Biology in the laboratory of DNRF Chair and Novo Nordisk Faculty Professor Vijay Tiwari (https://www.tiwarilab.org/) at the Department of Molecular Medicine, SDU.
The position is available from November 1st 2023 (or as soon as possible thereafter) – October 31st 2024 with a possibility for prolongation.
The Department of Molecular Medicine (IMM) aims to generate new knowledge on the function of the human body and disease mechanisms, thereby contributing to improved human health. IMM hosts an interdisciplinary group of experts in cancer biology and neurobiology and is in close proximity to the experts in genomics, proteomics and chromatin biology. Such a promising environment elicits translational collaborations with clinical practice and research toward understanding mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of various human diseases.
Tiwari lab works on single-cell genomics and gene regulation, combining new single-cell and spatial omics technologies with bioinformatics and machine learning. In this project, the candidate will develop new computational strategies to identify human genetic variation linked to cell fate changes in neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer. The candidate can use and combine single-cell ATAC-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, spatial gene expression, and whole-genome sequencing (with long reads) data. The candidate will get the opportunity to explore new analysis methods using deep learning. Depending on the interest, it is also possible to be involved in the wet lab, to perform single-cell sequencing and other experiments.
