2 weeks ago
Information on the department can be found at: BRIC – University of Copenhagen (ku.dk)
Our research
The aim of our group is to decipher how differentiation pathways of haematopoietic cells are influenced by different microenvironments. To achieve that we use state-of-the-art single-cell RNA-seq, multiome, and spatial transcriptomics data generation combined with computational analysis to establish principles of blood lineage differentiation. We are a team of highly collaborative researchers performing exciting interdisciplinary science using cutting-edge technologies.
Your job
In this project you will analyse newly generated scRNA-Seq and 10X multiome data sets to reveal the molecular programmes that are active in human blood cells. You will employ cutting-edge single-cell computational approaches to chart and understand the gene regulatory networks that are active in blood cells in health and disease.
The successful candidates will have a PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biostatistics or in a related quantitative field (e.g., Statistics, Mathematics, Physics). You will be passionate about science, hardworking, and excited to learn and improve skills in an outstanding research environment. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team and will be tasked with proactively seeking and maintaining appropriate collaborations. Your task would be to drive forward the project, working closely with biologists, clinicians and bioinformaticians within and outside the group to accomplish scientific objectives.
Profile
We are looking for two highly motivated and enthusiastic scientists with the following competencies and experience:
Essential experience and skills:
- You have a PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biostatistics or in a related quantitative field (e.g., Statistics, Mathematics, Physics), and a passion for problem solving
- You are highly experienced in a research environment with a well-established publication track record
- You have formal training in mathematical, statistical, and machine-learning-based analysis of complex data sets, such as dimensionality reduction, hypothesis testing, clustering, etc.
- Experience with atlas-scale single-cell data analysis, such as cell type annotation, differential abundance/accessibility/expression testing, trajectory inference, etc.
- An understanding, experience and published outcomes from analysing and interpreting large datasets using statistical programming languages (e.g. R, Python etc.)
- Proven independent working style, technical problem solving, data analysis and generation of novel ideas
- Proficient communication skills and ability to work in a team
- Comfortable generating and documenting reproducible analyses and workflows
- Excellent English skills written and spoken
Desirable experience and skills:
- Training in statistical methods appropriate for single-cell biological research, e.g., sparse data analysis, generative models, batch correction and multi-sample/-modal data integration, etc.
- Experience extending and fine-tuning DNN models for novel tasks
- Experience with a workflow management system, e.g., Snakemake, nextflow
- Experience in statistical genomics approaches and in method development
- Experience in analysing CITE-seq datasets
