Offer Description
Research environment
You will take part in research activities at the Division of Cell and Neurobiology and the research group of Associate Professor Wen Zhong, fellow in the Swedish national program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS). The DDLS program focuses on the integration of multi-omics, the interplay between genetics and phenotypes, and the development of AI-driven strategies/tools for precision medicine. The DDLS program is a 12-year initiative funded with a total of 3.1 billion SEK (about 300 MEuro, 350 MUSD) from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. The purpose of the program is to recruit and train the next-generation of data-driven life scientists and to create globally leading computational and data science capabilities in life science in Sweden.
Research project
The rapid development of AI technologies and high-throughput molecular technologies is transforming the landscape of next-generation molecular diagnostics, early disease detection, and individualized risk stratification. Within this postdoctoral project, we aim to develop AI-driven analytical frameworks for multi-omics integration and precision medicine-based decision support.
As postdoctoral fellow, you will focus on the construction of multi-scale molecular health and disease network and develop AI-based analytical infrastructures to inform precision medicine-based decision support. The position entails collaborative work within an environment of doctoral and post-doctoral students, principal research engineers and experienced clinicians. Advanced modern facilities and resources, including Berzelius HPC system, a 300-petaflop NVIDIA SuperPOD resource, multi-omics platforms and bioinformatics infrastructures are fully accessed to facilitate the development of data-driven computational tools.
