**Your position**

Data-driven analysis with deep learning offers an enormous potential in today's life-science sector. Trained end-to-end, deep learning models exceed human-level performance. However, controlling for confounding factors is not straight forward. Is it a bias in an acquisition batch or other hidden correlations of the input data and the target, confounding variables need to be controlled to make meaningful predictions. The project will cover a multitude of data modalities from large biological and chemical data sets of high-content screenings, whole-slide images, and genomics.
Acquisition Batches in Biological Activity Prediction

Histological Whole-Slide Images

The automatic analysis of histological whole-slide images is ever more relevant in digital pathology. In a wide variety of challenges ranging from tissue detection and characterization and understanding of cell interactions, confounds ought to be identified and their influence alleviated to reach high-quality estimates. You will handle and analyze giga-pixel images from several studies which are conducted in-house and heterogeneous sets of oncological data of human trials acquired on multiple sites.

**Your profile**
- Master's degree in computer science, mathematics, physics, or related disciplines
- Demonstrated and strong programming skills are necessary preferably in Python, Java, and/or C++
- Practical background in deep learning and data-driven analysis is advantageous
- The teamwork within the group and project partners requires excellent oral and written communication skills in English

**We offer you**

The research will be carried out on an industry project basis within a dynamic research environment. With a young, friendly, and inspiring team of PhD students and Postdocs our research group develops cutting-edge technology to push forward the fast-moving field of data analysis. You will be developing with the popular machine learning framework PyTorch and contributing to open-source software. State-of-the-art computational resources will be available to you such as direct access to NVIDIA DGX-A100 clusters and cloud computing resources via Amazon Web Services.
