The Machine Learning for Integrative Genomics team at Institut Pasteur, headed by Laura Cantini, works at the interface of machine learning and biology, developing innovative machine learning methods for single-cell data analysis (tools developed by the team :  ?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcantinilab&module=jobs&id=51596" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcantinilab&module=jobs&id=51596" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/­cantinilab ).

Single-cell high-throughput sequencing, extracting huge amounts molecular data from a cell, is creating exciting opportunities for machine learning to address outstanding biological questions. The PhD candidate to be recruited will be working on the development of machine learning methods for single-cell data. In particular, the research project will focus on inferring trajectories from spatial transcriptomics data modelling at the same time the cells evolution in gene expression and in space.

Required skills :

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

The candidat must have a Master (M2) of data science, computer science, applied mathematics

The position is available starting from October. Salary according to Institut Pasteur guidelines.
