Bioinformatician staff position at reNEW

at  Kbenhavns Universitet

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) at Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen is looking for a Bioinformatician (AC-TAP) to join the Żylicz group starting October 2024 or upon agreement with the chosen candidate.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

As a Bioinformatician in the Żylicz team, you will be working in a collaborative effort to uncover the principles of stem cell biology. You will be a part of a well-funded, international team of scientist working at the interplay of fundamental and medical research. You will be responsible for processing, analyzing and interpreting Next-Generation Sequencing data from bulk and single-cell experiments (transcriptomics, epigenomics). In this way you will contribute to research projects in collaboration with other PhD students and/or post-doctoral fellows.

Primary tasks:

• To develop and maintain computational workflows to process and analyze single-cell and bulk sequencing data.
• To apply the computational tools on primary data from research projects within the Żylicz team.
