**Introduction**:
UNIL is a leading international teaching and research institution, with over 5,000 employees and 17,000 students split between its Dorigny campus, CHUV and Epalinges. As an employer, UNIL encourages excellence, individual recognition and responsibility.

**Presentation**:
At the Bergmann Lab (unil/dbc/research-group), we aim to translate the wealth of large-scale biomedical data into new insights helping the early diagnosis or potential treatment of diseases. Within our SNF-funded Sinergia project our goal is to extend our knowledge of vascular properties by studying medical images from the retina and other organs, through cross-organ comparison and by linking them to genetic and medical information. We explore if this newly derived information can be used to enhance early detection of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the leading cause of death in developed countries.

**Job information**:
Expected start date in position: 01.10.2023 or to be agreed

Contract length: 1 year, renewable 2 x 2 years, maximum 5 years

Activity rate: 100%

Workplace: University of Lausanne, Dorigny campus, Departement of Computational Biology

**Your responsibilities**:

- Develop cutting-edge statistical and machine learning methods that derive features from medical images to infer upon disease
- Explore data from existing databases (e.g., the UK biobank) to formulate testable hypotheses
- Communicate results with impactful publications and presentations
- Collaborate with ophthalmologist and deep learning experts within our Sinergia consortium to coordinate the direction of research projects
- Contribute to teaching and mentoring of Master students

**Your qualifications**:

- Master’s Degree in Statistics, Physics, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, or Computer Science (we also encourage those with a degree in the life sciences to apply, if they have a strong knowledge of statistics or machine learning)
- Strong Python and/or R skills
- Proficiency in data visualization
- Ability to formulate hypotheses, draw conclusions, and deliver results
- Ability to communicate findings and results via posters, presentations, and manuscripts

**What the position offers you**:

- Experienced PI and lab members that will help you gain experience and knowledge in advanced statistical, image processing, and machine learning techniques
- A strong track record of previous lab-members landing professorships or high-level positions in biotechnology
- We offer a nice working place in a multicultural, diverse and dynamic academic environment. Opportunities for professional training, a lot of activities and other benefits to discover.

**Contact for further information**:
Deadline: 25.08.2023
- Brief motivation letter (max 1 page)
- Curriculum vitae (max. 3 pages)

We thank you for your understanding.
