Bioinformatics Specialist Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge data science projects funded by the iCAN Flagship in Digital Precision Cancer Medicine.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be part of a dynamic, interdisciplinary research environment collaborating with experts in computational biology, cancer research, and precision medicine. Our group is embedded in iCAN and connected to an active and welcoming computational biology community across the Nordics, providing opportunities for networking, training, and collaboration.

The advertised project focuses on implementing a hierarchical Variational Autoencoder (VAE) framework to integrate bulk multi-omics cancer data. Developed by the Kuijjer group to integrate multi-modal single-cell data, this framework incorporates biological data dependencies to model variability at both joint and data type-specific levels, providing insights into regulatory mechanisms. The research will leverage a large in-house dataset from iCAN, complemented by publicly available data, to examine transcriptomic dependencies on transcription factor abundance and/or somatic mutations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Implementing a hierarchical VAE framework to integrate bulk multi-omics cancer data
  • Developing novel computational approaches to analyze large-scale multi-omics datasets
  • Contributing to research with direct relevance to human health

Benefits and Perks

  • Comprehensive services to employees, including occupational health care and health insurance, unemployment and pension fund, a generous holiday package, sports facilities, and opportunities for professional development
  • Full-time position with possibility of extension, subject to future funding
  • Salary based on the university salary system, approximately €3600-€4200 per month depending on experience and qualifications
