Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Genomics and Machine Learning through the NORPOD program
NORPOD is a collaborative postdoctoral program of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine. The partnership is a network of four national research centers across the Nordics and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) , with complementary research expertise at the forefront of molecular medicine research. With the NORPOD program, the Nordic EMBL Partnership aims to foster the next generation of researchers in molecular medicine by implementing joint postdoctoral research projects to nurture strong competences and research excellence.
FIMM is currently seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Machine Learning in Biomedicine group, in collaboration with the Precision Cancer Epigenomics group at NCMM, through the NORPOD program.
Summary Of The Project
Human tumors are characterized by recurrent mutations in the well-defined cancer driver genes, but also non-mutational epigenetic reprogramming and phenotypic plasticity controlled by transcription factors (TF) are important contributors to tumorigenesis. Extensive consortium efforts have mapped the mutational and epigenetic landscapes of human cancers. However, the commonly used epigenomics methods such as ChIP-seq are correlative in nature and report a lot of spurious sites that might not be linked to gene expression, highlighting the need for novel innovative approaches to understand cancer genome and epigenome. Here, we will utilize cutting-edge long-read nanopore sequencing combined with deep machine learning approaches to model the epigenetic changes and mutational mechanisms in cancers originating from endodermal tissues. The goal is to reveal novel mechanistic details about the development of human cancer.
Tasks
The postdoctoral researcher will analyze NaNOME-seq, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq data to model the gene regulatory logic in epithelial cells. In addition, the researcher will investigate the effects of DNA adducts on methylome, transcriptome, and the gene regulatory logic.
Skills, Expertise And/or Qualifications
We expect a successful candidate to have a PhD degree from a relevant field with skills and experience in computational genomics and machine learning. Familiarity with the above-mentioned data types is an asset, as well as a strong publication record in a relevant field. Good written and oral communication skills in English are expected.
Research Group Descriptions
The Machine Learning in Biomedicine group led by Dr. Esa Pitkänen at FIMM develops novel machine learning methods and models to answer key questions in biomedicine: how do mutations arise and contribute to disease? How to accurately predict cancer patient outcomes? What is the role of inherited genetic factors in diseases? Together with our collaborators, we focus on answering these questions in cancers and hematological malignancies. We create scalable and multimodal machine learning techniques utilizing genome, transcriptome, epigenome and imaging data to build clinically useful computational tools.
The Precision Cancer Epigenomics group led by Dr. Biswajyoti Sahu at NCMM investigates the role of transcription factors in human diseases using modern genome-wide approaches for regulatory genomic features and chromatin architecture. We employ various model systems such as mammalian cell lines, 3D organoid cultures and stem cell-based methods as well as cutting-edge genome-wide approaches from ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN and HiChIP to single-nuclei multiome RNA-seq and ATAC-seq assays, epigenetics analysis using Illumina and single-molecule nanopore sequencing, and CRISPR-based approaches for genome editing. Our goal is to provide mechanistic understanding of the role of transcription factors and enhancer malfunction in development of enhanceropathies such as cancer.
Implementation
The NORPOD Fellow will be employed at the Machine Learning in Biomedicine group (FIMM, University of Helsinki, Finland). To promote collaboration between the two groups, this position will involve regular visits to and communication with the Precision Cancer Epigenomics lab (NCMM, University of Oslo, Norway). Successful candidates are expected to travel between the labs to conduct work required for the research project, foster synergies and advance our goals. Expenses related to the research visits will be covered.
Contract & salary
The job is for a fixed term of 2.5 years. A trial period of 6 months will be applied. Salary will depend upon the applicant’s level of skills, knowledge, and abilities and is based on the university salary system. The starting salary will be ca. 3,500 – 3,800 euros/month, depending on the appointee’s qualifications and experience and including a salary component based on personal performance. Standard Finnish pension benefits and occupational health care are provided for University employees. We welcome applicants from a variety of gender identities, linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
Selection process
The collaborating PIs of the research project will shortlist and video interview the top candidates.
Top candidates will be invited for an online interview, conducted by an independent selection panel where they will also be given the opportunity to pitch the project plan.
NORPOD Fellowships will be awarded based on the recommendation of the selection panel.
How to apply:

Startup-yritys PrecisionPhage etsii bioinformaatikko-ohjelmoijaa Phagenomics-palvelun (www.phagenomics.net) faagituotantotyökalujen kehittämiseen, ja jatkossa muihin kehitysprojekteihin. Faagit ovat bakteereita infektoivia viruksia, ja niitä voidaan käyttää antibioottiresistenttien bakteeri-infektioiden hoitamiseen. Faageilla ja niiden tuottamiseen käytettävillä bakteereilla on perimä, joiden molempien analysoimiseen tarvitaan välineitä GMP-tasoisen tuotannon eri vaiheissa (pystytys/laadunvalvonta). Tarvitsisimme sopivaa ohjelmointia ja perusbioinformatiikkaa osaavaa henkilöä tutkimus- ja kehityshankkeeseen.
Olennaista olisi ymmärtää Pythonia ja bash/shell skriptausta. Kokemus Snakemake tai NextFlow pipelineista on eduksi. Bioinformatiikan osalta perimän kokoaminen raakareadeista, geenien ja muiden ominaisuuksien annotointi, alignmentit (linjaukset) ja erilaiset mutaatioanalyysit olisi hyvä ymmärtää. Kirjastojen, kuten esimerkiksi BioPythonin, osaaminen on myös hyvä hallita. Kaikkea ei luonnollisestikaan tarvitse osata vaan tekemisen meininki, kyky oppia uutta ja soveltaa vanhaa ovat ominaisuuksia, joilla rento mutta päämäärätietoinen kehitystyö onnistuu.
Jos koet, että sinulta löytyy ainakin osittain tarvittavaa tietotaitoa ja työpaikka nopeasti kehittyvällä alalla voisi kiinnostaa, niin lähetä vapaamuotoinen kuvaus itsestäsi osoitteeseen matti.jalasvuori@precisionphage.com. Lisätietoja saa myös samasta osoitteesta. Saa myös vinkata, jos tunnet sopivia ihmisiä. Palkkaus hyvin kilpailukykyinen, mutta tietysti osaamiseen ja työn aikana näyttöihin pohjautuva.
