Your Role…
We seek a highly motivated bioinformatician or biostatistician who is well versed in the analysis of biological data and bioscientific programming for a
project on the study of neurodegenerative disorders. The candidate should have experience in the analysis of large-scale biomedical data (omics, clinical
or neuroimaging data), using statistical methods, pathway/network analysis or machine learning. The candidate will conduct integrative analyses of
Parkinson’s disease datasets, focusing on omics, neuroimaging and clinical data. This will include implementing and applying software analysis pipelines
and jointly interpreting of disease-related data together with experimental and clinical collaborators. The project will use multiple layers of new
biological high-throughput data from different patient subgroups and healthy controls. With the help of statistics, machine learning and pathway- and
network- and analyses, the goal is to improve the mechanistic understanding of disease-associated alterations in Parkinson’s disease.

What we expect from you…
* The candidate will have a PhD or equivalent degree in bioinformatics, biostatistics, machine learning, computational biology or related subject areas
* Prior experience in large-scale data processing and statistics / machine learning is required

neuroimaging data) should be outlined in the CV
* Demonstrated skills and knowledge in next-generation sequencing data analysis, biostatistics, machine learning, pathway and network analysis are
highly advantageous
* The candidate should have a cross-disciplinary aptitude, strong organizational and interpersonal skills, and a keen interest in collaborative
biomedical research
