We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow in Molecular Genetics and Genomics for a 2-year position on circular DNA in tumors. Besides genomic profiling of circular DNA in tumors, a central part of the work will be dedicated to development of non-invasive tests for early diagnosis of cancers. The successful candidate will apply and develop methods for isolation of circular DNA, collaborate with clinicians and bioinformaticians for identification of driver and marker mutations in cancers, and take part in commercialization and publication of results.

The successful candidate holds a PhD in biochemistry, bioengineering, biomedicine, biology or a related field, has expertise in DNA and chromosome biology, as well as methods in molecular biology. Experience with next generation sequencing (NGS), bioinformatics, oncology, biomarkers and/or commercialization of technology are further advantages. Finally, the candidate must demonstrate effective verbal and written communication skills. 

Our laboratory investigates the biology of circular DNA in eukaryotic cells through our unique molecular methods, NGS and novel bioinformatics pipelines using human and yeast as model systems. Examples of our research is the first global map of circular DNA in healthy human tissue (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-03369-8) and the first method for reconstruction of circular DNA in mammalian cells (https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/46/22/e131/5078801).
