Your role

As Postdoc Computational Oncology (limited to 2 years) in the Research Unit Oncology, you will join a team of highly motivated scientists dedicated to discovering the cancer drugs of tomorrow. You will extract actionable, biological insights from multi-modal patient-derived data and relevant model systems. Using in silico methods, you will identify and validate therapeutic targets and help advance early drug discovery programs. You feel right at home at the intersection of biology and data science and you combine a deep understanding of cancer biology, tumor immunology, or translational oncology with innovative analytical skills. You will leverage large language models to accelerate coding, analysis, and documentation, and apply them as conceptual tools to explore hypotheses and synthesize literature while always ensuring scientific rigor, reproducibility, and biological interpretability. You will interact closely with the R&D bioinformaticians and work in cross-functional drug discovery teams as well as external collaborations.
