About this position
APC Microbiome Ireland at University College Cork is recruiting a post-doctoral or senior post-doctoral researcher for a key bioinformatics role focused on developing AI-powered diagnostics for colon cancer.
The successful appointee will join the School of Microbiology and the APC Microbiome research environment to work mainly on Microb_AI_ome, an EU-linked project developing microbiome-based detection of polyps and colorectal cancer through a privacy-preserving federated AI platform. The work sits at the intersection of microbiome analysis, computational diagnostics, and collaborative health research spanning Ireland, France, Hamburg, and INRAE in Paris.
The project builds on microbiome analysis pipelines co-developed by the O’Toole lab and the EU partner in Paris, with core AI technology developed in Hamburg. The role also includes contributing to related projects emerging from the group’s broader interest in how the microbiome contributes to colon cancer, along with possible method development and horizon scanning.
This position is framed as a senior bioinformatics appointment within a research group active in microbiome and cancer-related computational research. The advert also notes that the university may make additional appointments from this competition.
