PhD and postdoc opportunities - May 2023

New research positions in the field of in silico medicine opened in the last month with deadlines mid June

Senior postdoctoral researcher data science & machine learning ERC O-Health
BCN MedTech research unit of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies - Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain)

O-Health is a Consolidator grant from the European Research Council, awarded by the European Commission under the HORIZON Action. It is led by Prof. Jérôme Noailly.
O-Health proposes a scalable ecosystem of multiscale NCD models interrelated through a body-wide systemic model of low-grade inflammation. The project tackles such vertical and transversal physiology-based computational modelling through four major NCD, lung emphysema, atherosclerosis, intervertebral disc degeneration and knee osteoarthritis that affect load-bearing organs at different anatomical locations.

Requirements:

  • Hold a BSc and a MSc in either Mathematics, Computer Science, Data Science or any related field
  • Have a PhD title, with a doctoral thesis focussed on data science and machine learning /artificial intelligence
  • Have at least two years of demonstrable postdoctoral in data science and machine learning /artificial intelligence in health or biomedicine
  • Be able to demonstrate a proficient level of English, both written and spoken. Language certificate is not mandatory but proper English level will have to be demonstrated during the interview (see selection criteria)

Postdoctoral Training in Modeling of Hypertension and Cardiorenal Diseases
Department of Physiology - University of Mississippi Medical Center

This position is in the computational research lab within the Department of Physiology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The research focus is continuing the computational simulation of human physiology started by Dr. Arthur Guyton. Prior experience or a willingness to learn integrative physiology is essential. Opportunities are available to work on multiple projects to address clinically relevant questions in cardiovascular and renal disease.

Position qualifications

Minimum:

  • Doctoral degree from an accredited institution and appropriate experience and training within a selected area of specialization. Must meet university criteria for appointment to the rank of Postdoctoral Fellow and requires successful completion of a background check.

Preferred:

  • MD or PhD in the Biological Sciences
  • Strong background in integrative physiology
  • Excellent writing and communications skills
  • Prior experience in molecular biology and/or in animal physiology
  • Previous experience with data analysis and working with clinical data sets
  • Machine learning or other predictive analytic techniques

Research duties include researching and understanding experimental and clinical literature, designing experiments, simulating the experiments, assisting the PI in writing manuscripts and grants, and collaborating with other scientists and physicians at UMC.

Expressions of interest should be sent to Asst. Prof. John Clemmer jclemmer@umc.edu
