The proposed approach is based on integrative machine learning and probabilistic modeling of data, such as 1) digital histopathology images, 2) spatial transcriptomics, 3) single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and 4) DNA sequencing (DNA-seq) data. Our methods are usually based on probabilistic graphical models, Bayesian Networks, Bayesian statistics, deep learning, with current focus on generative models. Apart from his/her own research project, the Post-doc is expected to collaborate with Master and PhD students. The Post-doc will be required to actively aim at publishing the project results.RequirementsThe candidate is expected to have● A doctoral degree in computer science, mathematics, machine learning, bioinformatics, or physicsobtained no earlier than 7 years before the year of employment in the project* (or close to the respective defence – the employment will take place after the doctoral degree is awarded).● Publications out of PhD.● Documented experience in programming, with code available for review at public sites such as github. ● Interest in applications in healthcare/medicine, in particular oncology.● Fluency in English.● Good writing and presentation skills
Due to project restrictions the successful candidate will be not allowed to receive any other remuneration from funds allocated as direct costs from research projects financed under NCN calls, during the period of employment; receiving remuneration from another employer under an employment contract, including from an employer based outside Poland is also prohibited.*This period may be extended by the time spent on long-term (over 90 days) documented sickness benefits or rehabilitation benefits due to incapacity for work.
