Postdoc (f/m/x) in Deep Learning and Digital Pathology Full-time

Postdoc (f/m/x) in Deep Learning and Digital Pathology

At Helmholtz Munich, we develop groundbreaking solutions for a healthier society in a rapidly changing world. We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation. Through strong partnerships, we accelerate the transfer of new ideas from the lab to real-life applications, improving lives.

The Horvath Lab at the Institute of AI for Health (AIH) aims to build large deep learning models for digital pathology to resolve single cell heterogeneity and identify subtle cellular differences in cancers. The method is used to identify cancer clones in melanoma cases and support clinical decisions with deep molecular analysis of the detected tumor clones.

The postdoc (f/m/x) will build robust single cell-based foundation models on digital pathology images and will combine AI with our latest Deep Visual Proteomics workflow.

Your tasks

• Building large scale foundation models
• Applying and further developing single cell segmentation methods
• Supervising a small team of PhD and MSc students
• Developing new foundations of augmentations for digital pathology
• Potentially developing multi-scale AI models for cancer patient stratification combining LLMs, molecular measurements, and multi-scale imaging.

Your profile

• PhD in computer science, mathematics, physics, bio-/medical informatics or related fields, specializing in image analysis or machine learning, proficiency in deep learning techniques (CNN, VIT, diffusion, GAN)
• Good understanding of the mathematical foundations of machine learning
• Mastering python and related AI software technologies
• Proficiency in English
• Experience in parallel training of large DL models is a plus

While the position will be a team effort, it is a multicenter project and thus independence and capability to remotely work with the other half of the team located in Szeged will often be required.

Benefits

• Career Development: Postdoc program, scientific training & career center with tailored offers
• Scientific Resources: State-of-the-art infrastructure and Core Facilities
• Recreation: 30 days annual leave, flexi days, plus public holidays
• International Staff Service: Support with the relocation and integration process in Germany
• Health Promotion: Sports, company doctor, mental health initiatives

We are committed to promoting a culture of diversity and welcome applications from talented people regardless of gender, cultural background, nationality, ethnicity, sexual identity, physical abilities, religion or age. Qualified applicants with physical disabilities will be given preference.
