Job description

APPLICATION CLOSING DATE: March 12th, 2025 Human Technopole (HT) is an interdisciplinary life science research institute, created and supported by the Italian Government, with the aim of developing innovative strategies to improve human health.

HT focuses on seven main research areas: Computational Biology, Structural Biology, Genomics, Neurogenomics, Health Data Science, Molecular Cell Biology, and Biophysical Modelling and Simulation.

Human Technopole is seeking two outstanding early-career scientists to establish their independent research group at HT as Group Leaders in the field of computational and quantitative biology with the aim of developing new mathematical, computational and AI approaches for the analysis and interpretation of life science data.

They will carry out high-quality, internationally competitive research and contribute to the international scientific community.

HT provides cutting-edge infrastructure, including high-performance computing, data storage and state-of-the-art experimental core facilities, such as a Genomics Facility, advanced imaging units, and a Data Handling and Analysis Facility.

HT Research Group Leaders benefit from a competitive core support package that includes funds for staff, consumables, and access to HT's core Facilities and equipment, which can further be expanded by raising extramural funding.

HT also provides access to a collaborative network within the Italian research community and close links to its scientific and industry partners.

We welcome research proposals from any area of computational biology applied to human health.

However, priority will be given to research programmes in one of the following areas:

Computational Imaging & Computer Vision: Developing novel algorithms for quantitative analysis of biomedical imaging data across biological scales, including modern computational and AI techniques from disciplines such as computer vision, pattern recognition, optimization, and AI;Biophysical Modelling of Cells and Tissues: Building biophysical models and integrative simulations to model cell and tissue dynamics in three dimensions;Spatial 'omics and Digital Pathology: Integrating cutting-edge machine learning approaches to analyse data from spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, and digital histopathology;Computational Structural Biology & Protein Function: Mapping of biomolecular complexes across spatial scales by leveraging cryo-EM and cryo-ET data. Tasks and responsibilities

Develop and supervise the establishment of a world-class research programme in computational biology;Lead their own research group;Foster a diverse and nurturing research environment by leading and mentoring members of their teams;Build effective links and collaborations with other HT research investigators;Develop and foster links between HT and other national and international research organizations;Contribute to the preparation of Centre reports to be reviewed by an external expert board;Actively participate in initiatives that pursue improvement of all aspects of HT;Actively participate in the co-organization and implementation of activities that will promote the image of HT in the international computational biology community;Contribute to the establishment of a collaborative and open scientific environment by actively participating in meetings and seminar series internal to HT;Raise third-party funding;Manage their own budgets. Job requirements

The selected candidates will have an outstanding track record in an area of computational biology, especially in the development of computational biology approaches for life-science applications.

Basic requirements for the position include a PhD in a relevant science subject, and a proven record of scientific research output in a relevant field of computational biology.

PhD in mathematics, physics, informatics, data science or relevant science subject;Proven record of scientific research output;Strong proposal of a competitive research programme in one of the areas mentioned above;Fluent command of English. Preferred requirements

Outstanding track record in one of the abovementioned areas of Computational Biology;Expertise in mathematical modelling and/or data science for biomedicine;Theoretical and practical knowledge of basic and more advanced AI methods. Organisational and social skills
