POST-DOCTORAL POSITIONS AVAILABLE IN CANCER RELATED STATISTICS
AND BIOINFORMATICS
Two post-doctoral positions (one initially for a year, the
other for two) are available at the University of Aarhus,
Denmark to work on issues relating to analysis of SNP array
data and gene expression array data, primarily from tumor cells.
According to the interest and qualifications of the candidate, the
focus of the work can be theoretical (development of statistical
methodology) or practical (analysis of data). The candidate
is expected to work in collaboration with Profs. Carsten Wiuf and Jens
Ledet Jensen, and the cancer group at the University Hospital,
lead by Prof. Torben Orntoft (Molecular Diacnostic Laboratory, MDL).
The cancer group (~25 people) is internationally recognized for its
research and harbours state-of-the-art laboratory facilities.
Research areas include expression profiling of epithelial carcinomas,
identification of genes related to tumor growth and disease courses
in cancer patients, and causes of genomic instability in cancer.
Wiuf (math biologist) and Ledet Jensen (statistician) are both
affiliated MDL and the Bioinformatics Research Center (~20 people)
located at the main university campus. The center is inter-disciplinary
and provides a highly interactive scientific environment with many
collaborators within and outside the university. In particular,
the center has extensive contacts with groups at the University of
Oxford (Profs. Hein and Donnelly).
The ideal candidate has a PhD in statistics/mathematics, bioinformatics
or (molecular) biology and an interest in modeling and analysis of
cancer data. The candidate should have a proven research record and an
interest in working in a cross-disciplinary environment. Background
in cancer research is not required. Knowledge of Danish is not
expected.
For further details, contact Carsten Wiuf ([log in to unmask])
Applications should be send to [log in to unmask], including CV,
publication list, brief statement of research interests, and names
of two contacts from whom references can be obtained. The positions
are open until filled.
