About this position

Incoming faculty at the University of Basel is recruiting for a new Computational Cellular Dynamics Lab in the Department of Biomedicine and the Basel Research Centre for Child Health. The lab will focus on computational biology, machine learning, single-cell genomics, spatial genomics, and generative models to study how human tissues develop, mature, regenerate, and change in disease, with a strong emphasis on child health.

The research program includes questions about cell-fate decision making, signaling environments, flow and diffusion models, gene regulation behind cellular dynamics, and active learning for choosing the next perturbations and measurements. The lab will generate data together with partners at Basel hospitals, universities, and institutes.

Open positions:

• PhD: four years, fully funded. Apply via the University of Basel portal.

• Postdoc: funding is available, and fellowship applications are welcome and supported.

Eligibility highlights: strong background in machine learning, mathematics, physics, statistics, or computational biology; some exposure to biological data; motivation to apply quantitative methods to real biological questions.

Application notes: Postdoc applicants should email a CV, contact details for two or three references, a GitHub profile, and a short statement on past research and future plans. The post does not mention a deadline.
