Postdoctoral Researcher in multidimensional analysis

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

Within our research group you will find a unique opportunity to work closely together with clinicians in hepatology and researchers in immunology and genetics.

Your mission

Annika Bergquist’s research group has a focus on clinical and translational studies in the field of liver diseases related to primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). We are expanding toward analysis of bigger datasets to study various aspects of the disease ranging from diagnostic, prognostic and more basic biology that require both good statistical and graphical skills. Proximity and interactions with basic researchers studying various aspects of PSC is also part of the translational aspect of the position. Your main role will be to perform analyses of registry, clinical and biological data.

Your profile

You have a PhD with experience in a broad range of exploratory, explanatory multidimensional analyses as well as related graphical representations. You also have previous experience in analysis and visualization of one or more of these data types: miRNA, methylation, proteomic and metabolomic data. The use of R and experience in interactive data display would be a strong advantage. Experience in computational methods including clustering and networks is also highly preferable. You also have experience in teaching and taking part in mentoring programs for bioinformaticians.

The candidate should be self-motivated and curious to solve clinical and fundamental biological questions to increase knowledge on PSC and patient’s benefit. Previous experience and knowledge about liver disease is not required but is an advantage. The candidate should be structured and organized, independent, good team player, open-minded and willing to explore new ways of analysis. We value personal suitability highly.

Qualified to be employed as a postdoctor is one who has obtained a doctorate or has equivalent scientific competence. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) date of employment. This must be substantiated by the applicant's main supervisor, director or equivalent.
