About this position
Multiple PhD and postdoctoral positions are open in AI for RNA biology, neuroscience, and health within the newly funded SATURNA collaborative project supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
The project is highly interdisciplinary and brings together expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, knowledge engineering, graph representation learning, computational biology, bioinformatics, RNA biology, neuroscience, and translational medicine. The scientific goal is to decode the language of RNA, understand how RNA shapes healthy and diseased cell states, and accelerate discoveries relevant to cancer, neurodegeneration, and future RNA-based therapeutics.
Partner institutions include the University of Bern, EPFL, Idiap Research Institute, USI Università della Svizzera italiana, and the National University of Singapore. The positions offer strong co-supervision and joint mentoring across AI, computational biology, and experimental biology groups, plus opportunities for secondments and research visits across partner labs, including in Singapore.
Applicants with backgrounds in biology, RNA biology, neuroscience, stem cell biology, machine learning, AI, NLP, graph learning, generative models, computer science, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, or physics are encouraged to apply. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Named contacts in the post include Lonneke van der Plas, Pascal Frossard, Janna Hastings, Rickie Patani, and Raphaëlle Luisier. For more information, visit the project website and the linked position pages.
