Postdoktor i beräkningsbiologi för mänsklig vävnadsarkitektur

## Responsibilities * Pioneer the understanding and modeling of tissue architecture using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data. * Develop new computational methods using state-of-the-art machine learning to gain fundamental insights into healthy and diseased human tissues in the heart, cardiovascular system, and gastrointestinal tract. * Establish spatiotemporal models of human tissue architectures to reveal how niches form, change, and malfunction in human organs and diseases. * Investigate topics such as tertiary lymphoid structures in inflammatory diseases, endocrine signaling between organs, comparative stem cell niches across tissues, or transcriptional regulation mechanisms like alternative splicing, depending on the applicant's interests and expertise. * Develop and execute primary research projects in computational biology, leading to dissemination and publication in academic journals and conferences. * Support and provide important operational contributions to scientific excellence and productivity in the research laboratory. * Help shape and guide students to achieve individual and collective research goals. * Gain opportunities for training in scientific leadership for potential application as an independent group leader or senior researcher. ## Requirements * Completed doctoral degree or foreign degree assessed as equivalent to a doctoral degree. This eligibility requirement must be met by the time the employment decision is made. * Significant research expertise in computational biology methods for single-cell or spatial transcriptomics data. * Proven scientific excellence, evidenced by strong scientific publications and a CV relative to career stage. * Strong programming skills (Python or R) and familiarity with high-performance computing. ## Nice to Have * No more than three years since the completion of the doctoral degree or equivalent foreign degree by the final application date. * Very creative researcher with broad scientific curiosity. * Proficiency in data visualization and scientific communication. * Extensive knowledge of relevant machine learning and AI techniques. * Exceptional collaboration skills. * Self-motivated individual with the ability to work independently. * Teaching and mentoring skills or interest in personal development. * Awareness of diversity and equal treatment issues, with a particular focus on gender equality. ## Benefits * Opportunity to grow and develop in a creative and dynamic workplace with good working conditions and benefits. * Part of a growing collaborative research group working closely with researchers at the Department of Gene Technology, SciLifeLab, and leading international research groups. * KTH is a leading international technical university playing an active role in driving the transition to a sustainable society. * Equality, diversity, and equal opportunities are a quality issue and a natural part of KTH's values as a university and state authority.
