Postdoctoral Researcher
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)
Netherlands
Two-year computational postdoc in a collaboration between TU Delft, Erasmus MC, and Holland Proton Therapy Center under the Convergence initiative. The aim is to model single-cell heterogeneity in response to proton therapy in cancer patient biopsies. The successful candidate will work at TU Delft alongside a fellow experimental postdoc at Erasmus MC to: (1) characterize (un)treated tumor samples using optogenetics, photoselection, and single-cell RNA sequencing; (2) model single-cell and subclonal response to treatment based on transcriptomic profiles and functional imaging features, including cell dynamics and morphology; (3) identify biomarker signatures of resistance to therapy.
Qualifications
PhD in computer science, machine learning, data science or equivalent. Experience in bioinformatics. There is opportunity to develop ideas on algorithmic and statistical learning topics, in connection with ongoing projects (see
http://joanagoncalves.org/people.html). Primary affiliation with the Gonçalves lab in the Department of Intelligent Systems at TU Delft, secondary appointment with the Chien lab at Erasmus MC. Embedding in a network of 24 postdocs funded by the Convergence initiative. Work in a highly multidisciplinary environment, and interact with a diverse group of faculty in computer science, pattern recognition, ML, bioinformatics, biomedical science, and molecular biology.
