PhD and Postdoctoral opportunities through the Centre for Digital Life, Norway

Are you working or studying at the Centre for Digital Life in Norway? If so, there is now a fantastic opportunity to apply for a 3-year project to join my (SciLifeLab-associated) group.

Work in my lab is centered around the data driven investigation of pollutant effects under recreated and natural scenarios and thus aligns well with SciLifeLab’s long-term strategy on data driven science. A good candidate should have interest in one, or more, of the following topics: microfluidics, image analysis, machine learning, microalgal phenotyping and/or multiple stress theory.

Interested? If so, read more about the application procedure and matchmaking process here: https://digitallifenorway.org/gb/news/join-matchmaking-for-mobility-grant

Looking forward to hearing from you and to meet you at the matchmaking event on the 21’st of October!
