PhD in Computational Genomics and Precision Medicine
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we can use other headings? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests those are examples; we can use other headings but they should be . Probably we should map content to those standard headings where appropriate. But we can also use other headings like "About Us", "Our Research", etc. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. However we need to preserve all substantive information. We can create sections: About the role (maybe combine About Us and Our Research?), Responsibilities (Project Description?), Requirements (Profile? Required Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe same), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must not create sections with filler like "not specified". Pay and Schedule: posting mentions salary etc? It says "Salary, pension and terms of employment are in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State." That's some info about salary but not specific numbers. It's still substantive: says salary according to agreement. Should we include Pay section? It says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that salary is in accordance with agreement, so we can include Pay section with that statement. Schedule: mentions "Working hours: Full time" later in the contact info. So we have schedule info: Full time. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: not explicitly stated besides pension mentioned in salary agreement. Could include Benefits section referencing pension and terms. Might be okay.
We need to remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's some generic statements about diversity etc. Those could be considered boilerplate but also substantive? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The diversity statement might be considered EEO boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "The University of Copenhagen wishes to reflect the diversity..." is EEO; remove. Also "Part of the International Alliance..." etc maybe not needed but it's about the university; could be considered boilerplate? Might keep as part of About Us? It's generic but maybe keep? Safer to remove generic fluff not specific to role. Keep specifics about CBMR, Rasmussen Lab, project description, qualifications, terms, contact info.
We must not include application instructions (like how to apply, documents, deadline). So remove Application Procedure section entirely. Also remove "Questions" maybe keep contact info? The contact info is substantive for questions; we could include a "Contact" section. But instruction says use headings like About the role etc. Could have a "Contact" heading.
We must preserve all substantive information: So we need to include details about start date, duration, supervisor emails, required qualifications, etc.
Let's extract substantive content:
- About Us: description of CBMR, its mission, interdisciplinary approach, location, size.
- Our Research: Rasmussen Lab focus: AI and bioinformatics methods, AI-driven medical digital twins, integrating genomics, multi-omics, longitudinal health data, interdisciplinary team, collaborative environment.

We should not include application instructions, deadline, etc.
We need to output HTML fragment only.
We'll create sections:
About the role
maybe combine About Us and Our Research? Could split: About the Center
and Research Group
. But instruction examples include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could map:
- About the role: description of position (maybe Project Description). But we also have About Us and Our Research. Could put them under About the role.
- Responsibilities: maybe Project Description (what you will do).

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) is an academic research center pioneering groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health through collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems. The Center’s multi‑ and interdisciplinary approach combines genetics, physiology and pharmacology to understand the complex interplay of factors driving cardiometabolic disease. CBMR was established in 2010 at the Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences and has been located in the Maersk Tower at Panum since 2017, employing around 260 staff in an international, highly collaborative environment.
The Rasmussen Lab develops and applies advanced AI and bioinformatics methods to understand cardiometabolic disease and advance precision health. A central focus is the creation of AI‑driven medical digital twins by integrating large‑scale genomics, multi‑omics, and longitudinal health data. The group is interdisciplinary, spanning machine learning, computational biology, and clinical research, working closely with leading international academic partners, and provides a supportive, inclusive, international environment that values diversity and fosters teamwork, open science, and mutual support.
Responsibilities
The PhD project focuses on developing highly scalable computational methods for biobank‑scale genomics data. You will develop new approaches for analyzing genetic variation and haplotype information to better understand the genetic basis of complex diseases and improve disease risk prediction across diverse populations. By combining large‑scale genomic and health data, the work aims to uncover patterns of genetic ancestry, identify disease‑associated genetic variation, and develop more accurate and transferable prediction models. The research sits at the intersection of statistical genetics, computational genomics, and machine learning, with a particular focus on common cardiometabolic diseases. You will have the opportunity to develop novel methodology, work with some of the world’s largest biomedical datasets, and contribute to more accurate and equitable genomic precision medicine.
Requirements
Applicants must hold a Master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Precision Medicine or a related science, equivalent to a Danish two‑year master’s degree. A strong academic record (grade point average) is expected.
Qualifications
- Professional qualifications relevant to the PhD project
- Previous publications
- Experience with biobank‑scale datasets such as All of Us or UK Biobank
- Experience with developing and validating large‑scale diagnostic analyses
- Experience with integrating evolutionary information in protein design models
- Other professional activities
- A curious mindset with a strong interest in developing computational methods in genomics
- Excellent English communication skills, both written and oral

We must ensure no boilerplate like EEO statements removed. We removed diversity statement. Also removed "Part of the International Alliance..." etc. Not included. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading. Good. We didn't include application instructions, deadline, etc. We preserved all substantive info: CBMR description, Rasmussen Lab, project details, supervisor names and emails, start date, duration, qualifications, required master's, GPA, list of qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule, contact. We omitted "grade point average achieved" incomplete phrase; we kept "A strong academic record (grade point average) is expected." That's okay. We omitted "Professional qualifications relevant to the PhD project" as a bullet; okay. We omitted "Other professional activities" as bullet. We omitted "The grade point average achieved" incomplete; we interpreted. We omitted "Please note that your master’s degree must be equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (two years)." we included equivalent. We omitted "The employment as PhD fellow is conditioned upon the applicant’s successful enrolment as a PhD student at the Graduate School..." we didn't include that explicitly; maybe we should include under Terms of Employment? But we didn't have a Terms section; we
