Positions available in "Digital Salmon" project: informatics manager, systems biologist

Dear list,

We have two available positions in our DigiSal
<http://www.nmbu.no/om/fakulteter/vetbio/institutter/iha/forskning/prosjekter/node/24555>
project on the systems biology of farmed salmon, described below.


Best regards,

Jon Olav





Systems biology informatics manager for the Digital Salmon - Ref 15/03842
<http://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/118916/systems-biology-informatics-manager-for-the-digital-salmon-ref-15-03842>

We seek a bioinformatician with skills in ontological annotation, semantic
interoperability and knowledge management (Researcher, 3 years with
possibility of extension). The successful candidate will be central in
establishing a knowledge base for the systems biology of farmed salmon, and
will work within the Centre for Integrative Genetics (CIGENE
<http://www.cigene.no>).

Researcher position - Systems biology of farmed salmon - Ref. 15/03788
<http://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/118917/researcher-position-systems-biology-of-farmed-salmon-ref-15-03788>

The successful applicant will be part of a highly inter-disciplinary group
and will focus on mathematical modelling and multivariate analysis for
integration of knowledge and data (physiological data and -omics data) from
all activities in the project. The main activities will be building and
refining models to predict metabolic performance in relation to diet and
genotype, and publishing biological insights from these models.

Both positions are part of the project “Towards the Digital Salmon: From a
reactive to a pre-emptive research strategy in aquaculture (DigiSal
<http://www.nmbu.no/om/fakulteter/vetbio/institutter/iha/forskning/prosjekter/node/24555>)”.
Headed by the Centre for Integrative Genetics at the Norwegian University
of Life Sciences and involving multiple partners in academia, industry and
abroad, it is part of the large, prestigious national effort, Digital Life
Norway <http://www.forskningsradet.no/en/Funding/BIOTEK2021/1253973230625>,which
is the Research Council of Norway’s first call dedicated to systems biology.

Salmon farming is Norway’s biggest export industry besides oil, and CIGENE
researchers recently headed the sequencing of the salmon genome. This paves
the way for large-scale application of systems biology in salmon farming,
with industry backing and rich experimental and genomic data.
