This work builds on recent and ongoing work in our group, and you will join an international and interdisciplinary group of scientists (for more information visit www.saezlab.org).
Candidates interested in using bioinformatics, machine learning, and mathematical modeling to analyze big data to advance personalized medicine are encouraged to apply. You are expected to hold a degree in statistics, mathematics, physics, engineering or computer science, or a degree in biological science with substantial experience in computational and statistical work.
Candidates should email their CV (including the names of three references) and a letter of interest to jobs.saez (at) bioquant.uni-heidelberg.de. The letter of interest has to be tailored to our group, mentioning projects or articles of our group that you find interesting, and explaining how you would fit here and in the topic mentioned above.
