About the position
## Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Epigen ## More about the position The project aims to develop novel computational methods and tools for predicting functional non-coding mutations in the cancer genome. These methods will integrate diverse sources of biological information, including the biophysical principles governing protein–DNA interactions, the genetic and epigenetic features of DNA sequences, and the three-dimensional (3D) organization of the genome and its regulatory landscape. A particular emphasis will be placed on integrating multi-omics data generated from single-cell experiments to enhance both predictive accuracy and biological interpretability. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will primarily focus on developing a biophysically interpretable machine learning framework that integrates multiple layers of biological information, including transcription factor (TF)–DNA interactions, epigenetic features, and 3D genome organization, to identify functional long-range gene regulatory interactions from in vivo data. The candidate will also be involved in the validation of predictions from cancer genomes. Throughout the fellowship, the Postdoctoral Research Fellow will be supported by a structured career development plan. This may include opportunities to teach and supervise bioinformatics students, present research at international conferences, and undertake research visits to leading international laboratories. The fellowship is designed to equip the candidate with the scientific expertise, professional skills, and international research experience needed to pursue a competitive research career within or beyond academia. The University of Oslo (UiO) is committed to supporting the Fellow's career development by providing ongoing mentoring and access to career guidance throughout the postdoctoral appointment. ## We offer - Exciting and meaningful tasks in an organization with an important societal mission, contributing to knowledge development, education, and enlightenment that promote sustainable, fair, and knowledge-based societal development. - Committed colleagues in a good working environment.
