We currently have a full time postdoctoral position open starting June 2015. About the department Biomedical research at Steno Diabetes Center is organised into four departments, which all apply findings from research in the clinic in order to improve outcomes for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In Systems Medicine we aim to achieve a system-level understanding of metabolism and to translate this knowledge into novel solutions to benefit human health. We are particularly interested in the identification of disease vulnerabilities associated with different metabolic phenotypes and the underlying mechanisms linking these vulnerabilities with the development of specific disorders or their co-morbidities, with specific focus on obesity and diabetes and their co-morbidities.

Your main research area will be computational modelling of metabolomics and other relevant data across different stages of the analysis (data processing, statistical modelling, and bioinformatics) as well as data interpretation in the context of human metabolism. The research will include genome-scale modelling of human metabolism. Qualifications You have a research background and track record in bioinformatics, computational biology or metabolomics. We expect you to have PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology, metabolomics, or equivalent. Knowledge of biochemistry and metabolism is a plus. Ideally you have experience in at least one of the following areas: integrative bioinformatics, computational statistics, metabolic modelling. You are an expert user of statistical software such as R and Matlab. On a personal level, you are flexible, collaborative, and you thrive in a dynamic research environment. You enjoy working independently and are good at troubleshooting. You will be joining a newly established department, and we expect you to contribute to its further growth as a positive and dedicated colleague.
