The laboratory is located within the newly build facilities at Alfred Nobels Allé 8 (ANA Futura Laboratory), Campus Flemingsberg. The announced position will be placed in Professor Anders Sönnerborgs research group, which has a strong focus on pathogenesis, antiretroviral treatment, including HIV drug resistance, and cure of HIV infection. The experimental research is focused on the interaction between HIV and antiretroviral drugs as well as mechanisms of viral latency.
Duties
The present Postdoc position aim towards benchmarking proteo-transcriptomics studies to develop and execute novel bioinformatics and statistical methods for transcriptomics, proteomics, and multiparametric proteotranscriptomics analysis to identify biomarkers and map the intercellular pathway of natural control of HIV infection, immune-aging in PLHIV as well as the importance of the gut microbiota for viral persistence and pathogenesis. The candidate should have a strong background in bioinformatics. Experience of analysis of immune-metabolism more specific to nucleotide synthesis, mitochondrial DNA depletion, and cellular metabolic pathways are of great value.
Mastery of the core concepts of Bioinformatics more specific towards the integrative omics is expected. These include (a) advanced methods in computational biology towards the machine learning in medical science, (b) knowledge and awareness of the basic principles and concepts of biology, computer science and mathematics, (c) the design and implementation of relational databases, and (d) the construction of predictive mathematical models of biological systems. The post-doc is expected to analysis large amount of omics data mainly transcriptomics and proteomics.
