Overview
The Bioinformatics Centre, University of Copenhagen is recruiting one postdoctoral scientist for a period of 2 years to work on gene regulation transcriptomics projects in the Albin Sandelin research group. The Bioinformatics Centre (www.binf.ku.dk) employs around 25 researchers, and has many international connections to high-profile groups. The groups are housed in the newly built Biocenter in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
The successful candidates will set up and run the Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) method on cancer tissue cells and also be the lab manager of the group, and will also do some computational analysis, depending on interest.
We are seeking highly motivated individuals with a PhD in molecular biology or equivalent and a substantial publication record in peer-reviewed journals. We strongly require documented experience in all of the following: PCR, qPCR, RNA and DNA extraction and analysis, real-time qPCR, experience with working with cell lines and animal cells, ChIP-seq, programming in a scripting language and statistical analysis in R. The applicant must also have experience with setting up new experimental methods with little supervision. Experience with high throughput sequencing and CAGE in particular is a large plus. Fluency in spoken and written English is a strong requirement.
The deadline for application is November 22, 2010. We expect the successful candidates to start 1 January 2011.
These positions will be funded by grants from the Danish Cancer society, the Novo Nordisk Foundation or the Lundbeck Founcation.
The application must contain:
A cover letter, describing the applicant´s motivation and suitability for the position
Curriculum vitae (incl. the applicants email address) with a list of publications
Contact details of 3 persons for references
The applications will be evaluated by an expert in the field, to select those that qualify for the position. Each applicant will receive the part of the evaluation that concerns her/him as well as the name of the expert. The main criterion for further consideration will be the research potential of the applicant. The successful applicant will be enrolled as a postdoc at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen.
Terms of appointment and payment will be in accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. Post Doc salary is based on seniority and is between DKK 383.670 and DKK 407.006 with an annual supplement up to DKK 49.280 before pension contribution. Negotiation for further supplement will be possible.
Applications should be e-mailed as one pdf-file marked "211-0039/10-5550" to job10@bio.ku.dk. Deadline for application is November 22, 12:00 noon.
We also require a physical copy sent to Albin Sandelin, Ole Maaleoes Vej, DK2200, Copenhagen Denmark with the same deadline.
Applications received after the deadline, or incomplete applications, will not be considered.
