Job Description
Missions
Single-cell high-throughput sequencing technologies generate unprecedented volumes of molecular data at cellular resolution, opening new avenues for the application of machine learning to fundamental biological problems. The postdoc (M/F) to be recruited to join the Machine Learning for Integrative genomics team at the Institut Pasteur as part of the ERC Starting Grant MULTIview-CELL, will be working on the development of a virtual tissue model bridging cell-cell communication and gene-gene interactions by exploiting spatial transcriptomics data and network-theoretic approaches.
Contract start date: May 1st 2026 or later depending on your availability
Activity
Activities :
- design of a new mathematical method
- monitoring and study of publications relevant to the field
- programming/coding in Python (Pytorch)
- presentation of results at conferences
- interaction with team members and international collaborators
Your Profil
Skills
Degree : PhD in computer science, machine learning, or computational biology
We expect a candidate with a strong background in machine learning or statistics. The candidate must also be proficient in high-level languages like Python. Familiarity with single-cell date and experience with existing single-cell methods and software would represent a strong advantage. Excellent communication skills and team spirit, and an ability to work in autonomy are essential. Fluent English both spoken and written is required.
Your Work Environment
The Machine Learning for Integrative Genomics team (https://research.pasteur.fr/en/team/machine-learning-for-integrative- genomics/) at Institut Pasteur, led by Laura Cantini, works at the interface of machine learning and biology (tools developed by the team: https://github.com/cantinilab). The team is composed of 8 people : 3PhD students, 3 post doc, 1 research engineer and 1 assistant. The team is associated with the Institut Pasteur's Computational Biology Department, UMR3738 and the PRAIRIE Artificial Intelligence Institute. The team recently won ERC StG funding, which is the subject of this recruitment. The candidate recruited will be under Laura Cantini's hierarchical authority.
