PhD in Probabilistic Machine Learning and Statistics
Machine Learning, Statistics, Biostatistics and PhD position at University of Oslo
Closed on Sunday, Oct 4
About
Three-year doctoral position at the Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology, developing probabilistic methods for complex biological data. Research will combine latent-variable modelling, scalable inference and uncertainty quantification for high-dimensional, structured and multimodal observations, including spatial transcriptomics and fluorescence imaging. The project is part of FunGenAD and offers collaboration with Columbia University. The position is based at Domus Medica in Oslo; an extension involving teaching may be possible.
Topics
- Probabilistic methods
- complex biological data
- latent-variable modelling
- scalable inference
- uncertainty quantification
- multimodal observations
