Job description
We are looking for a 100% PhD student to work on a Swiss Cancer League funded project investigating spatial resolved tissue biomarkers as predictors of therapy response for patients with rectal cancer. This project is heavily image analysis
- and AI-driven and will rely on bioinformatics and computational tools to unravel complex single-cell and morphological data from tissue images. Briefly, in this project, we use hyperplex immunofluorescence biomarker panels combined with spatial transcriptomic, molecular and clinical patient data to identify predictors of therapy response.
**Requirements**:
- MSc or equivalent in computer science, medical imaging, engineering; or MSc in biomedical sciences or MD degree with experience in medical image analysis, computer vision.
- Programming skills in Python and R
- Knowledge in pytorch or tensorflow
- Ability to solve problems by taking own initiative and working independently
- Passion for science and interest in contributing to discoveries in medicine & pathology
- Eager to be part of a group and contribute positively to team dynamic
- Background or experience in cancer biology/ histology is an asset
- Background or experience in biostatistics/bioinformatics is an asset
- Excellent communication skills (written and spoken) in English; German is an asset
- Willing to help supervise future Master students and contribute to lectures or workshops
