As a national hub for molecular biosciences in Sweden, SciLifeLab develops and maintains unique research infrastructure, services and data resources for life science. The overall aim of SciLifeLab is to facilitate cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary life science research and promote its translation to the benefit of society. About 200 research groups, 1500 researchers and 40 national infrastructure units are associated with SciLifeLab with nodes across Sweden.
The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) is a 12-year initiative that focuses on data-driven research, to train and recruit the next generation of life scientists and create strong and globally competitive computational and data science capabilities in Swedish life science. The program aims to strengthen national collaborations between universities, bridge the research communities of life and data sciences, and create partnerships with industry, healthcare and other national and international actors.
We are now looking for an outstanding candidate with expertise in machine learning, bioinformatics or advanced statistical methods, to help explore molecular, imaging, clinical and/or epidemiological data. You will apply, adapt and develop machine learning approaches to provide data analysis support to data-driven Swedish research projects of scientific excellence, as well as being a driver of advanced postgraduate data analytics training on a national level.
As a member of our team, you will be fully integrated with the SciLifeLab Bioinformatics Platform (National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden: www.nbis.se), a unique national infrastructure with over 120 experts providing advanced bioinformatics support, infrastructure and training to the Swedish life science research community, and participating in international collaborations.
