About this position
Research Fellow (University Researcher) in AI for Population Health and Genomics at the University of Helsinki, jointly hosted by the Faculty of Science and the Finnish Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), HiLIFE.
This fixed-term research appointment sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human genetics, and population health. The successful candidate will develop an independent research program within the Sustainable Wellbeing Across Lifespan (SWAN) research action, with a focus on methodological innovation and the application of modern AI approaches to large-scale biomedical data.
The research environment connects several active groups and infrastructures. The work will be carried out with the Ganna Lab at FIMM and the Probabilistic Machine Learning Lab at the Department of Computer Science, alongside concurrent efforts on foundation models for healthcare. The position is also tied to the ELLIS Institute Finland, creating opportunities to collaborate with researchers in AI across Finland and Europe.
The role gives access to uniquely rich data resources, including nationwide longitudinal health records from Finland, FinnGen genomic data, and extensive multi-omics datasets such as proteomics and single-cell transcriptomics. The researcher will also have access to CSC computing resources and the LUMI supercomputer, supporting ambitious AI and biomedical data science projects.
The appointee is expected to contribute independently to AI method development and application while engaging with existing research groups and university-wide activities at the intersection of AI and other scientific disciplines. The position is split between the Faculty of Science and FIMM, and includes limited opportunities to contribute to teaching.
Professor Arto Klami and Professor Andrea Ganna are listed as contacts for further information on the project and the position.
