Science for Life Laboratory, or SciLifeLab , is a Swedish national center for molecular bioscience research with focus on health and environmental research. The center combines front line technical expertise with advanced knowledge in translational medicine and molecular biosciences. SciLifeLab is a national resource coordinated by Karolinska Institutet, the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm university and Uppsala university, but the collaboration includes many more universities. SciLifeLab was formed 2010, and approximately 1 500 persons are currently working within the center, where 1/5 work with the facilities offering support for researchers with the life sciences. BIIF is one of the SciLifeLab facilities. BIIF is additionally part of NMI, the National Microscopy Infrastructure within the life science in Sweden , Euro BioImaging , and NBIS, the National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden , engaging approximately 100 bioinformaticians spread all across Sweden. BIIF is thus well connected with both image acquisition and data analysis infrastructure.
Duties
We are looking for a researcher with strong interest in developing, implementing and adjusting image analysis tools for quantitative analysis of microscopy data. Much focus is on large scale analysis based on machine learning and deep learning/AI. You will work with shorter and longer projects and offer research support via the BIIF nodes in Uppsala and Stockholm, and other universities in Sweden. The appointment also includes duties in the form of organizing user meetings/courses and workshops in digital image processing and analysis with life science applications. Supervision of MSc theses in the area is also part of the duties, as well as some involvement in research projects within Carolina Wählby’s research group .
Requirements
You should have a PhD degree within digital image analysis/image processing or similar, or alternatively in bioinformatics/biomedicine/biology or similar. Documented experience of programming and development of digital image analysis methods is a requirement. Excellent communication in English, both written and spoken, is a requirement.
Additional qualifications
Experience from developing and working with machine learning and deep learning with applications in microscopy, such as tissue analysis, is meriting. Experience from providing support in image analysis to other researchers is meriting. Especially meriting is proficiency in using and developing algorithms and analysis pipelines intended for identification and segmentation of cells and microorganisms in culture or in tissue sections, and quantification of biological parameters for these. Experience in giving workshops and supervision are also meriting, as well as work on research reproducibility.
To apply
The application should include a letter where the applicant describes the motivation for applying for this position, the relevant qualifications, and research interests. The application should also include a CV and links to relevant publications and contact information for at least two reference persons. We would also like to know the earliest possible starting date.
