The National Center of Excellence for Molecular Prediction of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (PREDICT), based at Department of Clinical Medicine, Aalborg University (AAU) in Copenhagen, is looking to recruit a talented researcher for a 2-year, full-time postdoc in machine learning from 1 October or soon thereafter.

Your work tasks

We are looking to recruit an excellent postdoctoral fellow to apply machine learning to rich molecular data and uncover the molecular basis of IBD. The successful candidate will build prediction models from high-dimensional molecular measurements, with a particular focus on proteomics, to identify early markers of disease onset and progression. The role centers on three connected themes: using molecular data for prediction, integrating signals across molecular modalities into multi-omic models, and drawing on genetics to test whether the resulting signals are causal. 

The postdoctoral fellow will play a key role in multiple research projects, with responsibilities including study design, data analysis, manuscript preparation, presenting findings at international conferences, and mentoring students.

Your competencies

The ideal candidate has:

A PhD in machine learning, computer science, bioinformatics, computational biology or biostatistics Proven expertise in machine learning applied to molecular or other high-dimensional data Experience working with IBD or other immune-mediated diseases is desirable Familiarity with molecular data and multi-omic integration A history of high-quality publications Excellent writing and communication skills in English A proactive mindset and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively Strong teamwork and interpersonal skills Experience using genetic data (e.g., Mendelian randomization or related approaches) to assess causality is preferred but not required.

Qualification requirements

Appointment as postdoc requires academic qualifications at PhD level.

Who we are

PREDICT is at the forefront of international research to unravel the cause and prognosis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which are chronic and disabling conditions affecting millions of people worldwide. The Center is composed of clinicians, epidemiologists, laboratory, and data scientists working with collaborators nationally and internationally to push the boundaries of precision medicine research and create real-world impact in IBD. We have state-of-the-art facilities within the center and this means through PREDICT you will be part of a well-funded research environment equipped with the latest technologies, unique data, and a world leading network of collaborators.
