Academic worker with a background in bio-informatics

For Stemphys, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences,  University of Copenhagen, Denmark

Background: 
StemPhys is a new interdisciplinary initiative joining forces of physics and stem cell biology with the goal of advancing our knowledge of stem cell commitment and controlling the differentiation process. Six core groups at the University of Copenhagen constitute StemPhys, three in stem cell and developmental biology from DanStem, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and three groups covering both theoretical and experimental physics, from the Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Science. StemPhys is financed by the Danish National Research Foundation for a period of 6 years and commenced on April 1st 2015. Details can be found at: www.stemphys.ku.dk 

Two of the research groups at Danstem are jointly recruiting a talented and motivated academic worker with a background in bio-informatics. This candidate will be involved in the construction of a transcriptomic and proteomic database for the Brickman and Grapin-Botton laboratories, the mapping of RNA and ChIP Seq, analysis of single cell gene expression, the development of meta-analysis and improvement of our existing bio-infomatics pipelines.

Job Description:
The academic worker will support researchers in both the Brickman and Grapin-Botton laboratories who need assistances with the analysis of bio-informatic datasets. The successful candidate will also devise systems for data storage and assist with meta-analysis of existing datasets.
