Postdoctoral Position in Generative Models of Protein-Protein Interactions

The Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI), located in Switzerland, affiliated with the University of Basel, is looking for a dedicated postdoctoral researcher to join the team led by Dr. Guillaume Diss. The focus of the research is on advancing generative models for protein-protein interactions, specifically exploring how protein sequence influences interaction affinity and specificity through the utilization of deep mutational scanning data and cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques. As a prospective candidate, you should hold a PhD in Biology, Physics, Computational Sciences, or a related discipline. You are expected to have a solid background in deep learning, with expertise in biophysics and thermodynamics. A track record of publications demonstrating your research capabilities is essential. Proficiency in English communication and a collaborative spirit are highly valued traits for this position. Your main responsibilities will involve spearheading independent research projects related to modeling protein-protein interactions. You will collaborate with both internal and external AI and computational biology experts, analyze extensive datasets, and create deep-learning models inspired by thermodynamics. Moreover, your contributions to scientific publications in reputable journals will be pivotal in this role. In return, we offer a competitive salary package and benefits, along with access to cutting-edge research facilities. The position provides ample opportunities for your professional development and training within a dynamic, diverse, and inclusive research environment.
