<p>At Stockholm University the <strong>Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics (DBB)</strong> and the <strong>Department of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren Institute (MBW) </strong>are looking to fill one position as DDLS fellow in data-driven cell and molecular biology.<br>For more information about us, please visit: <a href="https://www.su.se/department-of-biochemistry-and-biophysics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">DBB </a>and <a href="https://www.su.se/department-of-molecular-biosciences-the-wenner-gren-institute/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MBW</a></p><p>Data-driven
life science (DDLS) uses data, computational methods and artificial
intelligence to study biological systems and processes at all levels,
from molecular structures and cellular processes to human health and
global ecosystems. The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for <a href="https://www.scilifelab.se/data-driven/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS)</a>,
coordinated by SciLifeLab, aims to recruit and train the
next-generation of data-driven life scientists and to create globally
leading computational and data science capabilities in Sweden. The
program is funded with a total of 3.3 billion SEK (about 350 MUSD) over
12 years from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg (KAW) Foundation.</p><p>The
DDLS program funds 50 high-profile young group leaders (“Fellows”), over
210 postdoctoral positions and has established a research school for
260 PhDs, including industry PhDs and postdocs. Fellows are recruited to
the 11 participating host universities/organizations, but brought
together under the DDLS program, which has four strategic areas: cell
and molecular biology, evolution and biodiversity, precision medicine
and diagnostics, epidemiology and biology of infection. For more
information, please see <a href="http://www.scilifelab.se/data-driven" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.scilifelab.se/data-driven</a>. </p><p>During
2022-2024, the first and second round of 39 Fellows joined and now we
are looking to recruit an additional group of 11 Fellows. Each DDLS
Fellow will receive a recruitment package of 17 MSEK (about 1.6 MUSD)
for a 5-year period, covering their own salary and other resources, such
as salaries for PhD students and postdoc positions. The Fellowships are
tenure-track positions with the host organizations, which assume the
responsibility for the long-term faculty appointments following a tenure
evaluation.</p><p>The future of life science is data-driven. Will you be leading the change with us? Then join us in this unique program! <br>The position comes with an attractive recruitment package.</p><h2>Subject</h2><p>Data-driven cell and molecular biology</p><h2>Subject description</h2><p>Data-driven
cell and molecular biology covers research that fundamentally
transforms our knowledge about how cells function by peering into their
molecular components in time and space, from single molecules to native
tissue environments. The applicant is expected to have a strong
computational focus on innovative development and application of novel
data-driven methods relying on machine learning, artificial
intelligence, or other computational techniques.</p><h2>Main responsibilities</h2><p>Research and in addition some teaching and supervision.</p><h2>Qualification requirements</h2><p>In
order to qualify for the position as assistant professor, the applicant
must have completed a doctoral degree in Sweden or an equivalent degree
from another country. Priority will be given to applicants who have
received such a degree no more than seven years before the deadline for
applications. However, an applicant who has received such a degree
earlier may be considered under special circumstances. Special reasons
could be sick leave, parental leave or other similar circumstances.</p><p>All
teaching positions at Stockholm University require the ability to
collaborate and the general ability and suitability to perform one’s
duties.</p><h2>Assessment criteria</h2><p>In the appointment process, special attention will be given to research skills. Teaching skills will also be considered.</p><p>The assessment of research skills will focus primarily on merits within the subject area of the position.</p><h2>About the employment</h2><p>This

by the Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 2024:673).</p><p>For this
position, the assistant professor is employed for a fixed term of six
years. The contract may be extended to a maximum of eight years under

assistant professor may, on application, be promoted to a permanent
position as associate professor. Specific criteria for promotion from
assistant professor to associate professor have been established by the <a href="https://www.su.se/english/about-the-university/organisation/faculties/faculty-of-science" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Faculty of Science</a>.
An application for promotion to associate professor should be submitted
to the faculty at least nine months before the appointment as assistant
professor expires. </p><p>The formal employment will, after agreement
with the hired candidate, either be at the Department of Biochemistry
and Biophysics or the Department of Molecular Biosciences, The
Wenner-Gren Institute. </p><p>During the first six years, the main
workplace for this position will be at the Science for Life Laboratory.
Assuming a successful promotion to Associate Professor, the main
workplace will thereafter be decided together with the department.</p><h2>We offer</h2><p>With
