Postdoctoral Fellowships in AI, Virology, and Virus–Host Interactions AITHYRA Research Institute for Biomedical Artificial Intelligence in Austria

This postdoctoral project at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Department of Engineering focuses on the biological risk of accelerated intervertebral disc degeneration in population cohorts. The selected researcher will work with subjects from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort , generating intervertebral disc models and linking them with quantitative or semi-quantitative biological regulation models. The research combines finite element simulations with morphometric and multi-omic data models to evaluat...

Keele University’s School of Life Sciences is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Arbovirus Refractory Team and contribute to a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship research programme. The project addresses the burden of mosquito-borne infectious diseases by developing a novel technology to limit the dissemination of Alphaviruses by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The research uses genetic modification of both viruses and mosquitoes to investigate virus function and develop approaches to c...
