PhD position in bioinformatics


[fquote]The PhD opportunity will be carried out at OncoImmunity resulting in a PhD awarded through the University of Oslo. The candidate will have academic mentors and supervisors at the University of Oslo, in addition to main supervisors in the OncoImmunity development and scientific team. This PhD position involves the research and development of novel machine learning algorithms to identify immunogenic mutations from patient genomes. The candidates background should be in machine-learning, big data and statistics. The ideal candidate will have a background in the analysis of cancer next generation sequencing (NGS) and research interests in developing novel methods that will allow for discoveries at the interplay between cancer and immunology, in order to identify improved personalized cancer immunotherapy.[/fquote]

Required experience
