PhD position in Informatics - Computational Biology and Machine Learning

All employees are expected to contribute to excellence through high quality research and teaching. The working environment for this position will be at CBU, in the Systems Biology & Machine Learning group headed by Prof. Tom Michoel. The aim of the INTRePID project is to create intelligent systems for personalized and precise risk prediction and diagnosis of non-communicable diseases using multi-omics data, by developing, implementing and validating novel algorithms for structure learning and inference in large-scale, multi-organ causal Bayesian gene networks. The project will have privileged access to a unique resource of multi-omics data from four Nordic countries generated by the project partners for a proof-of-concept application in cardiovascular medicine. The person appointed on this position will develop and apply models and algorithms for causal inference, graph representation learning, and inference in large-scale Bayesian networks.
