About the job
The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.
We have two 3-year positions in the (Exercised Breastmilk: A kick-start for childhood obesity prevention?), which is an ERC Starting Grant project. The overall aim of the project is to determine how exercise can modify breastmilk composition.
The postdoctoral fellows will focus on bioinformatics/data analyses of data from multi-omics technologies to discover the acute and long-term effects of exercise on breastmilk composition.
The positions are available at the research group. Your immediate leader is Senior Researcher Trine Moholdt.
The responsibilities and tasks in the two positions are similar and you may apply for both positions. You must indicate in your application which position(s) you apply for.
Duties of the position

Postdoc 2 : The main responsibility will be bioinformatic analyses of metagenome sequencing data from faecal samples, microRNA data from breastmilk samples and from dried blood spots, and integration of data from multi-omics platforms.
Both positions will also involve the following tasks:
Develop strategies for analysing and integrating data from multi-omics platforms based on state-of-the-art analytical methodologies. Relate multi-omics signatures with clinically relevant parameters. Ensure that omics data are available and reusable. Interpret, present, and publish results.
