BEMÆRK: Ansøgningsfristen er overskredet
We are looking for one or more PhD students to come and join us in the Translational Disease Systems Biology group at The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR – www.cpr.ku.dk).
CPR comprises a wide range of expertise and resources including proteomics, protein production, general characterization of disease mechanisms, and bioinformatics. The Programme for Disease Systems Biology covers systems level aspects of biology and medicine, including the integration of molecular-level data and healthcare data, for example EHR data including laboratory test data and biomedical texts. You will be joining the Translational Disease Systems Biology group, which is one of three groups in the Programme for Disease Systems Biology at CPR. The group (www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/brunak/) led by Professor Søren Brunak focuses on establishing early competitive advantage in disease-relevant computational analysis across the general areas of bioinformatics, systems biology and medical informatics. We are a diverse and highly multidisciplinary group, which is dynamic and ambitious with many renowned scientific collaborations both nationally and internationally.
Your job
The PhD students will work in a multidisciplinary project team and build data-driven models of temporal disease development using a combination of molecular data and data from the healthcare sector, where the latter comprise both registry data, complete electronic patient records and socio-economic data. These models will in part be descriptive and show how different diseases and diagnosis follow each other over long periods of time and in part predictive in the sense that longitudinal patterns of illnesses, medication and procedures will indicate future events.
Qualifications
Since the advertisement covers multiple positions, experience with all of the following is not required, but the successful candidates are preferred to have qualifications or proven experience within the majority of these:
- You hold a Master’s degree in medicine, health informatics, bioinformatics, data science or a related discipline of biomedical research
- Programming experience in Python/Perl and/or R
- Having worked with big data
- An active interest in disease biology and precision medicine
- Experience in bioinformatics, biostatistics and systems biology
- Research experience in machine learning
- Excellent communication skills, and fluency in written and spoken English
Place of employment and work
The employment is at CPR (www.cpr.ku.dk), University of Copenhagen, located in central Copenhagen. The research environment at CPR is ambitious, diverse and international, with approx. 30 different nationalities currently represented. The Center comprises modern laboratories, supercomputer resources and state-of-the-art facilities within protein science. Seminars with high-profile international speakers and regular internal research seminars are organized at the Center. The selected candidate should expect some travel activity.
