Stillingstittel: Post Doctor (Ref. nr.: 3192834990)

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
Oslo University Hospital is a highly specialized hospital in charge of extensive regional and local hospital assignments. As Scandinavia’s largest hospital, we carry out more than 1.2 million patient treatments each year. The hospital has a nationwide responsibility for a number of national and multi-regional assignments, and has several national centers of competence. Oslo University Hospital is responsible for approximately 50 percent of all medical and health care research conducted at Norwegian hospitals, and is a significant role player within the education of a large variety of health care personnel.

A three year postdocoral fellowship in bioinformatics is available immediately.

Novel technologies like next generation sequencing give us information of the mutational status in tumor biopsies. This can point to potential drugs to be used, but at present we do not have any tests to verify whether the selected drug(s) will be efficient in the patient. The project aims to develop a platform for guidance of treatment decisions based on testing drug sensitivity on tumor material harvested from patients. The project is a cross-disciplinary collaborative effort involving several departments at Oslo University Hospital

The candidate we are seeking should have strong interest and engagement in cross-disciplinary projects. This is a prerequisite for fostering translational cancer research where knowledge is transferred between clinical departments and basic research laboratories. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong biological background, and in this case the candidate may also be involved in experimental studies.

The successful candidate will be responsible for expansion of our bioinformatics approaches for integration of available molecular and phenotypic melanoma-related data, building from an expanding base of molecular data and an algorithmic base of integrative tools, also leveraging existing relevant large public data repositories and knowledge-bases. The candidate will become part of a vibrant bioinformatics group. Python and R programming competence will be valued.

Personal characteristics, such as written and spoken communication and collaboration skills, will be given careful consideration, as well as evaluation given by references and interviews. The application should be accompanied by a CV, list of publications and certified copies of diplomas and other relevant documentation of education. Names, addresses and contact information of three references are required.

We offer challenging research activities, being part of a highly recognized research and bioinformatics team, as well as good working environment. Only applicants using WebCruiter will be considered.
