Post doc in computational RNA systems biology

Center for non-coding RNA in Technology and Health (RTH) at Department of Basic Animal and Veterinary Sciences, University of Copenhagen invites applications for a position as post doc for 2 years and 3 months (with a potential extension for additional 3 months) from March 1st, 2012, or as soon as possible thereafter.
 
The position is financed primarily by the Danish Independent Research Council (Technology and Production), but also by the Danish Strategic Research Council (Strategic Growth Technologies).
 
Center for non-coding RNA in Technology and Health (RTH) was established in 2010 to take a multi-disciplinary research strategy in the area of non-coding RNAs. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are important cellular components and the mammalian genome holds plenty of room to harbour them. In concordance both experimental and computational methods predict up to hundreds of thousands (structured) ncRNAs.

Job description
The outset of the post doc project is to correlate the ncRNA candidates to protein coding genes through RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interactions and possible co-expression patterns. This will be applied in the context of gene interactions (STITCH) based on information from multiple sources. Furthermore, literature mining can be included as an additional layer of seeking information about the ncRNA candidates.
 
The project will be in collaboration with Lars Juhl Jensen at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen.
 
The post may include teaching to a limited extent.
