Postdoc and Research Assistant in Computational Biology (Uppsala University) with a focus on feature inference from single-cell and spatial transcriptomics dataMarch 20th, 2025 Postdoc: https://uu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:795983/ We are looking for 1-2 postdoctoral researchers and 1-2 research assistants (transition into a PhD possible!) in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics or Data Science. The research group is connected to SciLifeLab and is part of the National Program for Data-driven Life Science (DDLS). The lab's research is focused on computational method development (statistical approaches and machine learning) for single-cell gene expression data (such as single-cell RNA-sequencing, spatial transcriptomics and in situ sequencing) to infer complex cell features. The two main projects aim to infer cellular lineage relationships and cellular micro-environments respectively. This in turn lays the basis for applications in precision medicine related to human biopsies and cancer heterogeneity. The candidates will have the opportunity to individually drive the projects forward and develop their own line of research as well as to extent their skills at the intersection of mathematics, programming and biology. ------------------------------------------------------- Requirements Skills at the intersection of mathematics, programming and biology are required. The applicant should have experience in two of these fields and an interest in learning about the remaining one. Any of the following skills is considered a merit. Postdoc: The employment is a temporary position of 2 years according to central collective agreement, with possibility of 1 year extension. Full time position. Starting date as agreed. Research Assistant: The employment is a temporary position, 6 months with possibility of extension. Full time position. Starting date as agreed.
