PhD Position in Statistics with a focus on Statistical Machine Learning for Self-Driving Microscopy

This project provides a rare opportunity to see statistical machine learning models come alive, guiding live experiments. The recruited PhD student will evolve between both groups and become fluent in communicating across disciplines, a major career asset.

We are seeking highly qualified, motivated and creative candidates wishing to join a collaborative project at the interface of statistical machine learning and live-cell biology. The PhD in statistics will be co-supervised by Prof. David Ginsbourger (Statistics) and Prof. Olivier Pertz (Cell Biology), and the student will be equally embedded in both research environments.
