Description of the project
The problem that will be solved in this project is the development of advanced computational methods for quantitative and immunotherapy-informative analysis of tumor subclones and their microenvironment in ultra-high molecular and spatial resolution. The proposed approach is based on integrative machine learning and probabilistic modeling of 1) digital histopathology images, 2) spatial transcriptomics, 3) single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and 4) DNA sequencing (DNA-seq) data.
Our methods are usually based on probabilistic graphical models, Bayesian Networks, Bayesian statistics, deep learning, with current focus on generative models.
Apart from his/her own research project, the Post-doc is expected to collaborate with Master and PhD students. The Post-doc will be required to actively aim at publishing the project results.
Requirements
The candidate is expected to have:
 A doctoral degree in computer science, mathematics, machine learning, bioinformatics, or physics
(or close to the respective defence the employment will take place after the doctoral degree is
awarded).
 Publications out of PhD.
 Documented experience in programming, with code available for review at public sites such as github.
 Interest in applications in healthcare/medicine, in particular oncology.
 Fluency in English.
 Good writing and presentation skills.

Applications
Please send your applications per email to szczurek@mimuw.edu.pl, including
 CV
 Recommendation contact (we are likely to contact your Referee).
 Selected candidates will be invited for an interview.
Application deadline: 19th of April, 2023
Applications that do not satisfy the above requirements or are submitted after the deadline will not be considered for the position.
In addition to the above, there should be a signed cover letter addressed to the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, and Mechanics, the University of Warsaw together with the personal data clause (attached).
The applications will be evaluated by a selection committee appointed by the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, and Mechanics, University of Warsaw. The committee may invite the candidate to a meeting, which will be conducted remotely. The results of the competition will be sent to candidates electronically on 31st of May, 2023 at the latest. The competition is the first stage of the recruitment process as described in the Statute of the University of Warsaw, the recommendation by the selection committee being a basis for its subsequent stages.
