The Wolfe Center at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, is hiring a computational researcher to develop ML/AI tools and investigate molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration.
Projects are highly collaborative and will draw on various techniques, including deep learning for computer vision, statistical genetics, causal inference, and multi-omics studies.
In this position, you will initiate, lead, design, and implement AI/ML-driven biomedical studies with domain experts (biologists/clinicians). We integrate multidisciplinary biology and data science methods, real-world human clinical data, and molecular experiments. We aim to leverage AI/ML and develop powerful bio-medical predictive models. We also translate the molecular mechanisms we have discovered that underlie neurodegeneration into potential therapies.
