PhD Position in AI in Proteomics
We are seeking applications for a PhD position in AI in proteomics as part of the Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network, ProtAIomics. This brings together laboratories across Europe with 16 doctoral students at the interface of artificial intelligence and mass spectrometry proteomics. In collaboration with researchers at the University of Oxford, we seek a candidate to develop AI tools for the interrogation of subcellular proteomics data. We are interested to hear from candidates with experience in probabilistic or statistical modelling of complex biological data, such as mass spectrometry data, RNA sequencing, or imaging. The candidate should also have a background in working with hierarchical data and resolving ambiguous, overlapping signals. Strong programming skills are essential, along with the ability to build and extend statistical pipelines. An interest in Bayesian inference applied to biology is also important. A background in computational proteomics or LC-MS/MS analysis, especially peptide/protein identification or signal deconvolution, is desirable.
