Description The Laboratory of Computational Biology (Stein Aerts lab) at VIB-KU Leuven is seeking a postdoc to join our efforts in deciphering the genomic regulatory code underlying cellular identity, with a focus on the You will develop new AI strategies to learn the genome syntax using large-scale single-cell multi-ome atlases as training data You will unravel the diversity of neuronal cell types in the brain of various species (octopus, birds, mammals) through machine-learning & comparative genomics You will work very closely together with our wet-lab for data generation and experimental validations You will use your AI models to generate synthetic enhancers with new functions, and to functionally interpret non-coding genome variation (health and disease). Publications Recent scientific contributions from the lab include new bioinformatics methods for the analysis of single-cell gene regulatory networks, namely SCENIC and cisTopic; new experimental assays for single-cell ATAC-seq (HyDrop) and for massively parallel enhancer reporter assays; deep learning implementations for enhancer modelling (DeepMEL & DeepFlyBrain); and the generation of multiple single-cell atlases of the fly brain and the fly cell Check out recent publications: Janssens, Aibar & Taskiran, Nature 2022 Li & Janssens, Science 2022 Davie & Janssens, Cell 2018 Aibar et , Nat Methods 2017 Bravo et , Nat Methods 2019 For all our publications, see Profile You obtained a PhD degree in Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, Bio-engineering, or Proficient in Python programming Experience with machine learning is a plus (, Tensorflow/Keras/PyTorch) Experience with explainable AI (, SHAP) is a plus Experience with high performance computing, software containers Experience with single-cell genomics is a plus, but not absolutely essential Ability to work independently and in a We offer: Access to state-of-the-art compute & GPU infrastructure A stimulating international research environment You can be a driving force in a new EOS consortium across three Belgian Universities Competitive salary and benefits Fully funded postdoc position for 3 years, but encouraged to apply for an international fellowship (, EMBO, Marie Curie, FWO, HFSP, ).
