Tasks In collaboration with other researchers, develop, implement and test systems for AI-controlled automated microscopes. The task includes interacting directly with the microscope and establishing pipelines where models trained on previously taken images decide and control where the microscope should take images in the next step to reach a specific goal. We are looking for a candidate with a genuine interest in technology and automation, and who enjoys solving problems including both practical interaction with hardware (robots, microscopes) and different types of software. Since our microscopes generate large amounts of images, the position will also include large-scale data management and -analysis. You will work with researchers in AI modeling and biological laboratory sciences, and contribute to implementing methods and evaluating them for different types of biological problems. This is a 2-year position that is part of the HASTE project, funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) aiming at developing new, intelligent ways of processing and managing very large amounts of microscopy images in order to be able to leverage the imminent explosion of image data from modern experimental setups in the biosciences. Industry collaborators are Vironova AB and AstraZeneca AB. More information about the HASTE project is available at http://haste.research.it.uu.se Qualifications A master’s degree in engineering or a university degree in a relevant field is a requirement. Good programming skills in Python and preferably more programming languages is a requirement. Experience in AI modeling, Linux systems as well as developing REST services and APIs is a requirement. Experience of AI modeling on image data, practical handling of automated microscopes and working with software containers (e.g. Docker/Singularity) is meriting. Deadline to apply: Nov 25th, 2020.

The postdoc will be a key player in the development of new modelling and inference tools based on universal probabilistic programming, an approach that has attracted considerable attention across scientific disciplines in recent years. Specifically, we will be developing a domain-specific language to describe phylogenetics problems, and design new inference strategies for such model descriptions. The goal is to successfully tackle some of the most challenging research problems in statistical phylogenetics and phylogenomics. For some early success stories, see our recent manuscript on bioRxiv: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.06.16.154443. The postdoc will be encouraged to develop new projects, apply for third-party funding, supervise students and lecture at courses. The ideal candidate should be a creative and independent researcher with a PhD degree in biology, statistics, computer science or another relevant field. Depending on when the candidate defended his/her PhD thesis, the official employment will either be as a postdoc or researcher. The candidate should be familiar with biological research problems, be comfortable with mathematical and statistical reasoning, and have solid computational and programming skills. Documented scientific achievement in computational biology or a related field is essential, as are excellent communication skills in English. We will pay particular attention to scientific talent and potential. The position is for two years, with preferred starting date in early 2021. The position is funded by the Swedish Research Council and the project is a collaboration involving the Swedish Museum of Natural History, the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Uppsala University and Uber AI. In a related project, Kew Gardens and the University of Gothenburg are also involved.

Protein Structure and Bioinformatics Group (http://structure.bmc.lu.se/) at Lund University, Sweden is looking for two research scientists/postdocs to work on variation interpretation. We are one of the leading groups developing tools and performing variation interpretation to sort from genomic sequence data alterations that are linked to diseases. We have developed several of the most reliable prediction methods in the world for detection of harmful variants and for predicting the causative mechanisms (at DNA, RNA, protein, structure, function etc levels). Our predictors include PON-P2, PON-MMR2, PON-Tstab and PON-mt-tRNA and others. One of the positions is more inclined towards development of artificial intelligence solutions for predictors and the other contains also data analysis and predictions of various data sets. Both the positions are for two years and open immediately. The position is at the Department of Experimental Medical Science, Lund University and located at the Biomedical Center (BMC).
