Postdoctoral position and PhD positions - Machine Learning in Translational Single Cell Biology

The Clinical Bioinformatics group at the University Hospital/University of Tübingen invites applications for several Postdoctoral position (TV-L E13, 100%) and PhD positions (TV-L E13, 65%) - Machine Learning in Translational Single Cell Biology to be filled as soon as possible. Each position is initially limited to three years. The available positions focus on projects developing and applying machine learning methodology to high dimensional, spatial proteomic/transcriptomic single-cell data in translational research in oncology, immunology and infectiology.

The ideal candidate brings along a degree that demonstrates an interdisciplinary background in both life and formal sciences. While a background cancer-/immune biology and single cell proteomic/transcriptomic experiments are a plus, a solid background in mathematics, statistics, machine learning and programming is required to carry out the planned algorithm developments and data analysis. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with excellent communication skills that is capable of... More

Master Theses Projects in Vision-based Autonomous Systems

The Embodied Vision group investigates novel approaches to vision-based perception and learning for intelligent systems that are closely coupled with control and planning. We are looking for talented students who are pursuing a Master of Science degree in computer science, electrical or control engineering, applied mathematics or physics and are eager to pursue their Master thesis on a research topic in our group.

Intelligent systems that perform complex tasks in everyday environments require the ability to perceive their environment and the objects with which they interact. Besides tactile or proprioceptive sensing, vision is an important sensing modality for such systems that provides rich sensory information. The Embodied Vision group (https://ev.is.mpg.de) at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Tübingen investigates novel approaches to vision-based perception and learning f...
