Course Level:Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: University of Copenhagen
Scholarship can be taken at: Denmark
Eligibility:
Have a PhD in bioinformatics, statistics or a similar field Have demonstrated experience in the analysis of Next Generation DNA Sequencing data Be experienced with programming in perl, Python,
or similar and be familiar with linux/unix Have published in high-quality international peer-reviewed journals Experience in statistics (including R) and probabilistic models/machine learning Experience with small RNAs, ancient DNA, gene expression analysis and/or metagenomics Ability to program in C or C++
Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: The positions are in the group of Professor Anders Krogh. The group is working in computational analysis of post-transcriptional regulation (focus on small RNAs), ancient genomics, and metagenomics. Common to all projects is the analysis of high-throughput sequencing data, mostly from Illumina sequencers. We are doing both software development and analysis of experimental data. We are collaborating closely with local experimental groups for instance in miRNA research, and is deeply involved in ancient DNA research at the Centre for Geogenetics. Qualifications: The postdocs will be expected to participate both in the development of computational tools and in the experimental collaborations and data analysis. As a postdoc you are expected to be able to work fairly independently and to be able to co-supervise Ph.D. and Master´s students.The successful applicant will be hired as a postdoctoral fellow for an initial 2 year period. The possibility exists for extension of this initial period.
