Postdoc in Computational Biology
14 hours ago
The Genome Biology Research Unit at the Department of Molecular Medicine (IMM) invites applications for a position as postdoc in Computational Biology in the laboratory of DNRF Chair and Novo Nordisk Faculty Professor Vijay Tiwari (
The position is available - initially for six months - from April 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter - with the possibility of extension.
Tiwari lab employs cutting-edge single-cell and spatial omics technologies with bioinformatics and machine learning to decipher principles of gene regulation. In this project, the candidate will develop new computational strategies to identify human genetic variation linked to cell fate changes in neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer. The candidate can use and combine single-cell ATAC-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, spatial gene expression, and whole-genome sequencing (with long reads) data. The candidate will get the opportunity to explore new analysis methods using deep learning. Depending on the interest, it is also possible to be involved in the wet lab, to perform single-cell sequencing and other experiments.
You will
- Employ new computational strategies to link human genetic variation with cell-fate changes in neurodevelopmental disorders
- Analyze bulk, single-cell and multi-omics datasets
- Lead projects on gene regulatory mechanisms that contribute to the development and disease
- Support research and development activities within the group
- Maintain accurate and detailed records of research activities
- Support the group leader in everyday routines including training new group members
- Support the group leader in grant applications and management
- Collaborate with internal and external partners
- Engage in teaching and supervision as required
Expectations of qualifications
- PhD in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, Bio-engineering, or equivalent
- Excellent track record in Bioinformatics with at least one first-author publication, accepted or submitted
- Experience with machine learning will be a plus (e.g., Tensorflow/Keras/PyTorch).
- Experience with software containers and/or NextFlow is a plus.
- Programming experience is required (Python, R).
- Previous experience in Genomics data analysis
- Strong analytical, organizational, and record-keeping skills
- Interest in working in a multidisciplinary and multicultural team
- Willing to collaborate with internal and external collaborators as well as support group members

- A competitive salary and social benefits (e.g. health coverage, parental leave, social security etc.)
- Support with practical, social, and legal aspects (e.g. housing, visa, tax etc.) through our international staff office (ISO) and the department
The Department of Molecular Medicine (IMM)
IMM aims to generate new knowledge on the function of the human body and disease mechanisms, thereby contributing to improved human health. IMM hosts an interdisciplinary group of experts in cancer biology and neurobiology and is in close proximity to the experts in genomics, proteomics and chromatin biology. Such a promising environment elicits translational collaborations with clinical practice and research toward understanding mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of various human diseases.
