Postdoc Position (50-100%) in Artificial Intelligence in Tumor Immunology


The tumor-immunology research group is seeking a highly motivated researcher for our team at the Department of Biomedicine (DBM) of the University Hospital in Basel/Switzerland. We are looking for a bioinformatician or computer scientist with a focus on AI to analyze high-throughput genomics and transcriptomics data emerging from our immunology studies and clinical trials (e.g. Schultheiß et al., Immunity, 2020; Stein et al., JAMA Oncology, 2022).


Your position
The successful candidate will analyze high throughput data from next-generation sequencing (including bulk and single-cell experiments). A repository of immunosequencing data will be used to detect disease-specific and anti-tumor immune signatures using machine learning. You will work in close collaboration with the DBM Bioinformatics Core Facility.


Your profile

  • Highly motivated and creative
  • PhD degree in quantitative field such as artificial intelligence, computational biology, bioinformatics, physics or mathematics with strong interest in biology
  • Experience with the analysis of NGS data
  • Sound statistical knowledge and programming skills in R and Python
  • Fluent in English (speaking and writing)


We offer you
We offer you the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies and collaborate with renowned scientists in the field. If you are passionate about using AI to advance our understanding of immunology and tumor biology, and are excited about contributing to high-impact research that has the potential to improve cancer treatment, we encourage you to apply. You will be affiliated with the Department of Biomedicine and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and integrated into the local bioinformatics community.
