The Center for Genomic Medicine at Rigshospitalet is looking for a bioinformatician or computational scientist to join our bioinformatics group that develops and maintains advanced computational pipelines for the analysis of patient genomes and transcriptomes. The position is available from May 1st 2021.
The Center for Genomic Medicine holds a combined high-throughput DNA/RNA sequencing and bioinformatics platform that offers a wide-range of genomic and transcriptomic analyses, including human whole-genome sequencing, to hospitals in Region Hovedstaden and Region Sjælland as well as the National genome sequencing initiative.
As part of the bioinformatics group, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining workflows for data analyses and provide bioinformatics support to clinical departments. Accordingly, responsibilities will range from making daily surveillance of automated data analysis workflows to contributing to high level publications within the field of genomic medicine.
We offer a stimulating environment where medical doctors, biologists and bioinformaticians work together to deliver high-quality precision medicine and research. Moreover, there will be a unique opportunity to work with bioinformatics and computing tools on real clinical data. Our work has direct implications for diagnosis of patients leading to better treatment for a variety of rare and more common genetic diseases, infections, and cancer.
Qualifications:
- A degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science, or equivalent
- Proficient in general in computational and programming languages, including a working knowledge of Python
- Proficient with Linux-based operating systems and shell scripting
- You like to work in a team and is motivated by working in an interdisciplinary environment
Our work is primarily focused on processing and analysis of DNA sequencing data, and we are using SnakeMake for orchestration of a large variety of bioinformatics tools on a supercomputing infrastructure. Previous experience with this work, or aspects thereof, is an advantage – just like scientific understanding of molecular biology.
The application should comprise the following, to be uploaded in the application system:
- A brief introductory letter outlining how you see yourself as part of the bioinformatics unit
- A curriculum vitae and a full publication list
- A short description of past and present research activities
- Relevant diplomas
Deadline for application is April 28th, 2021 at noon. The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with relevant union. The place of work is Rigshospitalet, Blegdamsvej, Copenhagen.
