The researcher will focus on defining more precise diabetes subtypes beyond the current type 2 diabetes classification and investigate biomarkers and clinical features associated with varying disease progression and the risk of developing diabetes-related complications.

Required Skills and Qualifications
  • PhD in Bioinformatics, Genomics, Computer Science, or Machine Learning
  • Expertise in multi-omics data integration
  • A strong computational background and expertise in dealing with large datasets
  • High level of proficiency in programming

  • A proven track record showing scientific productivity in peer-reviewed journals
  • Proficient communication skills and ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams
Benefits

The position offers a full-time and fixed-term employment contract for 3 years, starting December 1, 2024, or after agreement. Salary, pension, and terms of employment will be in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations).

Depending on qualifications, a supplement may be negotiated. Non-Danish and Danish applicants may be eligible for tax reductions, if they hold a PhD degree and have not lived in Denmark in the last 10 years.
