Descripción
One year position as research assistant/bioinformatician, with possibility for prolongation, is available at the Section for Cancer Cytogenetics, Department of Pathology, Oslo University Hospital (OUS). Start up date 01.november 2026, or as soon as possible. The Section for Cancer Cytogenetics performs advanced cancer cytogenetic diagnostics analyzing neoplasia-specific genome abnormalities in cancer cells, in addition to performing research in biomedicine to gain new knowledge that can contribute to better patient care. We are looking for a motivated and results-oriented bioinformatician who can join our ongoing and new projects. The candidate will contribute to research in cancer genomic and transcriptomic, with a particular focus on the analysis and integration of complex molecular and genomic datasets. The position will involve the development and application of bioinformatic workflows and statistical learning methods to investigate molecular alterations in cancer and to improve our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying disease development and progression. You will join an active and internationally recognized research environment focusing on cancer genomics and transcriptomics and will have the opportunity to work collaboratively across multiple cancer forms in the field of solid tumors and hematological malignancies. The projects will involve translational research aimed at improving our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying cancer development and progression. You will work with a broad range of high-dimensional molecular data, which will include next-generation sequencing data, genomic and transcriptomic profiles, cytogenetic data, and other molecular and clinical datasets. A central aim of the position will be to develop robust and reproducible computational approaches for integrating these complementary data sources as well as clinical parameters and extracting biologically meaningful information. The work will include the devel
