Faculty of Medicine Job Description

We invite applications for a fixed-term position of Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of cancer data science. The position is open to applicants with a PhD degree in computational biology, bioinformatics, computer science, biostatistics, cancer genomics, network science, or related fields.

About the Role

The advertised project focuses on using and extending deep learning-based approaches developed within the group to integrate bulk multi-omics cancer data. Developed by the Kuijjer group to integrate multi-modal single-cell data, this framework incorporates biological data dependencies to model variability at both joint and data type-specific levels, providing insights into regulatory mechanisms. The research will leverage a large in-house dataset from iCAN, complemented by publicly available data, to examine transcriptomic dependencies on transcription factor abundance and/or somatic mutations.

Key Benefits

  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge data science projects funded by the iCAN Flagship in Digital Precision Cancer Medicine
  • Participation in a dynamic, interdisciplinary research environment
  • Collaboration with experts in computational biology, cancer research, and precision medicine
