Italia EMBL A tempo pieno

EMBL is Europe's life sciences laboratory - an intergovernmental organisation with more than a hundred independent research groups and service teams covering the spectrum of molecular biology. It operates across six sites in Heidelberg (headquarters), Barcelona, Cambridge, Grenoble, Hamburg and Rome. Our mission is to perform basic research in molecular biology; train scientists, students and visitors at all levels; offer vital services to scientists in the public and private sectors; develop new instruments and methods; and engage actively in technology transfer.

Research and services at EMBL Rome focus on the interdisciplinary investigation of epigenetics and neurobiology with a major focus on exploring the molecular mechanisms of how changes in gene expression and brain function enable organisms to adapt to their environment. We encourage you to visit our web site to understand the most current research and service directions at the unit. EMBL Rome shares the Monterotondo Campus with the Italian National Research Council (CNR) Institute for Biochemistry and Cell Biology (IBBC).

We are looking for a Research Scientist in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence to join the Epigenetics and Neurobiology Unit at EMBL Rome, Italy.

Your role

You will drive research projects using machine learning and artificial intelligence tools to understand basic mechanisms in mammalian behavior, physiology and/or molecular biology.

This could include, for example, one or more of the following areas:

  • integration and predictive modeling using omics datasets
  • assessment and modeling of complex animal behavior
  • interpretation of neural activity datasets

The post-holder will report to the Head of Unit and will be expected to develop a unique research programme, interacting with local groups and contributing to and taking advantage of the large community of computational and theoretical scientists across EMBL sites. You will have the opportunity to recruit, supervise, and mentor junior researchers in a manner commensurate with skills and experience.

You have
  • a PhD in computational or life sciences or equivalent research experience
  • demonstrated track record of publications or other research outputs in the application and/or development of ML/AI tools
  • a desire to lead research in the most innovative areas of ML/AI applied to cutting-edge biological problems
You might also have
  • prior experience demonstrating successful collaboration with biologists
  • prior experience in leading research projects, supervising junior researchers, and attracting competitive funding
  • experience in experimental research relevant to your area of computational expertise
