A 2-year full-time Researcher position (SKO 1109) in Machine Learning and Systems Immunology is available at the Department of Immunology, Institute of Clinical Medicine, The Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo (UiO).
The appointment is a fulltime position. The position is available from September 2024 with a flexible start between October 2024 and January 2025. The position will be located in Dr. Greiff's laboratory (Lab for Computational and Systems Immunology, greifflab.org).The position is externally funded.
The candidate will develop machine learning and computational sequence-based approaches to identify antigen-specific immune receptors from immune repertoire data.
The Greiff Lab focuses on the quantitative understanding of adaptive immune receptor (antibody and T-cell receptor) specificity using high-throughput experimental and computational immunology combined with machine learning. The long-term aim is to conceive in-silico novel immunodiagnostics and immunotherapeutics using the disease-diagnostic information and therapeutic potential that is directly encoded into adaptive immune receptors. Recent publications by Dr. Greiff may be found on google scholar.
The Faculty of Medicine has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for these positions will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.
