## Responsibilities
- To work within a multidisciplinary and international research environment.
- To receive training in quantitative proteomics, structural biology, computational biology, machine learning, data integration, and scientific communication.
- To participate in national courses, seminars, and networking activities within data-driven life science as part of the DDLS research school.
- To conduct research within the framework of a DDLS-funded project at the intersection of structural proteomics, protein biophysics, and machine learning.
- To use and develop both computational and experimental methods.
- To contribute to data-driven life science (DDLS) by applying data, computational methods, and artificial intelligence to study biological systems and processes at all levels.
## Requirements
- Must have basic and special eligibility for doctoral education.
- Documented knowledge in relevant areas such as molecular biology, biochemistry, proteomics, structural biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, machine learning, or related fields.
- Analytical and creative thinking.
- Scientific curiosity and motivation for interdisciplinary research.
- Initiative and independence.
- Ability to collaborate in an international and interdisciplinary research environment.
- Good ability to express oneself in spoken and written English.
- Strong interest in protein science, proteomics, structural biology, computational biology, or machine learning.
- Solid background in molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, computational biology, data science, physics, chemistry, or related fields.
- Motivation to work in an interdisciplinary project linking experimental biological data to computational modeling.
- Programming skills in Python, R, or other relevant programming languages.
- Interest in machine learning, statistical modeling, structural bioinformatics, or analysis of large-scale biological datasets.
- Experience in proteomics, mass spectrometry, protein structure analysis, molecular dynamics, deep learning, or bioinformatics is meritorious but not required. Experience in analysis of other types of -omics data is also valuable.
- Curiosity, analytical thinking, and willingness to learn new experimental and computational methods.
- Strong interest in interdisciplinary research and the integration of experimental proteomics with data-driven modeling is essential.
## Nice to Have
- Experience in analysis of other types of -omics data.
- Experience in molecular dynamics, deep learning, or bioinformatics.
- Experience in structural bioinformatics or statistical modeling.
## Benefits
- A limited-term appointment as a doctoral student according to Chapter 5 of the Higher Education Ordinance (1993:100).
- The appointment duration cannot exceed what corresponds to full-time doctoral education over four years.
- The doctoral student primarily devotes themselves to their own doctoral education, but work with education, research, and administration may be included in limited scope (up to 20%).
- A new appointment as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and the appointment is renewed thereafter in maximum two-year increments.
- A workplace free from discrimination and offering equal rights and opportunities for all.
