The research group for Genomic Epidemiology, National Food Institute, DTU seeks a candidate for a 2-year assistant position in bioinformatics on metagenomics and whole genome sequencing analysis.
Global emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are among the biggest challenges for human and animal health.
The Genomic Epidemiology research group at the National Food Institute, DTU, has as the primary task to conduct targeted research with the aim of predicting and preventing infectious diseases in humans and animals, and supporting global detection, surveillance and control, with a specific focus on AMR. The research group combines expertise in conventional and molecular microbiology with epidemiology and bioinformatics. For this, the Group is engaged in several projects analyzing the genomics of single mainly bacterial isolates and metagenomes.
The group has also developed online metagenomics and WGS tools for bacterial genome analysis, which are accessed by users around the world. The group has full access to Computerome (Danish National Supercomputer for Life Sciences). In addition, the group ensures availability of intellectual expertise and technology to execute the project, including all facilities for molecular biology experiments, bioinformatics facilities, and expertise in whole genome sequencing, metagenomics, and machine learning.
The research group for Genomic Epidemiology seeks a candidate to assist with general bioinformatics analyses across the group.
The job
- You will engage in developing and maintaining metagenomics mapping and analysis pipelines.
- You will engage in developing and maintaining whole genome sequencing analysis tools.
- Ensuring the group's databases are consistently maintained and kept up-to-date.
