Postdoctoral researcher, single-cell spatial multi-omics

Postdoctoral fellowship in single-cell spatial multiomics in SPACE – EU project

The overall goal is to discover how the tumor cells evade the immune system in ovarian cancer, with prospects of leading to major scientific breakthroughs and successful translation of the findings into clinical trials. In the EU funded project SPACE, we aim to integrate genomic profiles (WES, shallow WGS, ctDNA, RNAseq), and single-cell spatial proteomic and transcriptomic data and associate the findings to clinical data using machine learning. Learn more about the project from our web pages: http://farkkilab.org/space

We are looking for an ambitious postdoc who is proficient in biostatistics/bioinformatics, and preferably have prior experience in Image processing&analysis or single cell data analysis. The successful candidate will be involved in image analysis projects leveraging multi-omics single- cell spatial data to apply and develop cutting-edge spatial analysis. The candidate is expected to lead independent projects, collaborate, and contribute to the common activities in the Färkkilä Lab. Basic knowledge and interest in cancer biology and immunology are necessary. The candidate should have excellent written and spoken English skills.

The researcher will be immersed in the rich interdisciplinary culture of the research program. We offer excellent training and coaching towards an ambitious career. Our mentality is to maintain a highly collaborative and enthusiastic atmosphere in the Lab and exploit the rich international scientific networks.
