Biomedical Data Science Researcher
The Wolfe Center at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel is hiring a computational researcher to develop ML/AI tools and investigate molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration.
Projects are highly collaborative and will draw on various techniques, including deep learning for computer vision, statistical genetics, causal inference, and multi-omics studies.
In this position you will initiate, lead, design and implement AI/ML-driven biomedical studies, together with domain experts (biologists/clinicians). We integrate multidisciplinary biology and data science methods, real-world human clinical data, and molecular experiments. We aim to leverage AI/ML and develop powerful bio-medical predictive models. We also translate the molecular mechanisms we have discovered - that underlie neurodegeneration into potential therapies.
Required Qualifications:
- MSc/PhD in machine learning, (bio)statistics, computer science, OR equivalent work experience delivering state-of-the-art AI/ML solutions.
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in AI/ML
- Fluency Python (a must).
- Experience developing in a Linux environment
- Enthusiasm to work in an academic environment
Preferred Qualifications
- ML for healthcare, disease biology, or medicine background
- Scientific publications in AI/ML (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, among others), computational biology, or bioinformatics venues.
- Experience working with high-throughput biomedical data (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, electronic health records, clinical images).
- Rstudio
Candidates should contact Eran Hornstein, MD PhD, (eran.hornstein@weizmann.ac.il) with a brief statement of research interest/cover letter, a CV (including list of publications), and contact information of 1-2 references.
Postdoc
Postdoctoral candidates in molecular neuroscience are welcome to apply for a project that integrate human genetics, bioinformatics and animal disease models of ALS. One longstanding mission is to understand the roles of regulatory RNA in the brain and patho-mechanisms of neurodegeneration.
