Systems Biology research group in University of Helsinki, Genome-Scale Biology Research Program, and Center of Excellence in Cancer Genetics Research is seeking outstanding candidates for POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCHER POSITIONS

The open positions are in the fields of systems biology and translational cancer research in projects funded by EU Horizon 2020 (HERCULES) and Academy of Finland (OVCURE). The goal of the HERCULES project is to use cutting-edge single-cell measurement technologies and computational methods to identify drug resistant cell populations and develop combinatorial treatments to effectively kill drug resistant cancer cells. The goal of the OVCURE project is to develop and apply integrative computational methods to identify predictive models for treatment efficacy by taking an advantage of multi-level big data (e.g., mRNA, miRNA, epigenetics, proteomics, genetics and clinical). Both projects are based on prospective ovarian cancer patient clinical samples taken before and after the treatment.

Initial contract of employment will be done for minimum of two years and the starting date is to be agreed, preferably during spring 2016. Trial period of four months will be applied. Salary will be based on the Finnish Universities salary scheme for teaching and research personnel composed of both task specific and personal performance components that will evaluated during the first year, starting levels are 5/5 (3482,29 EUR).

We are looking for ambitious post-doctoral researchers with strong enthusiasm towards science. A successful candidate has, or is close to having, PhD / DTech degree and has a strong background in applied mathematics, machine learning, multivariate statistics, computer science or bioinformatics. Basic understanding of cancer biology is considered as an asset, and ability to work together with medically/biologically oriented researchers is required.
