PhD Position in Statistics with a focus on Statistical Machine Learning for Self-Driving Microscopy

Joint project between – Pertz Lab () & D. Ginsbourger's Group ()

We are seeking highly qualified, motivated and creative candidates wishing to join a collaborative project at the interface of statistical machine learning and live-cell biology.
The PhD in statistics will be co-supervised by Prof. David Ginsbourger (Statistics) and
Prof. Olivier Pertz (Cell Biology), and the student will be equally embedded in both research environments.

Your Environment
This project provides a rare opportunity to see statistical machine learning models come alive, guiding live experiments. The recruited PhD student will evolve between both groups and become fluent in communicating across disciplines, a major career asset.
Project Overview
Cells sense, integrate, and respond to dynamic stimuli through complex signaling networks. The Pertz Lab has developed powerful optogenetic tools and fluorescent biosensors that allow direct perturbation and...
