h3Build the science that shapes the future of human health.
/h3 h3Application closing date: /h3 h3Join a place where ambitious science thrives /h3 pHuman Technopole (Milan) is a rapidly expanding life science institute where international researchers and cutting-edge technologies converge to accelerate biomedical discovery.
Our mission is to transform bold scientific ideas into advances that improve human health.
/p pWithin this mission, the bGlastonbury Group /b uses machine learning applied to large-scale digital pathology and spatial transcriptomics datasets generated in-house to understand the molecular basis of specific pathologies and the genetic basis of multiple, complex diseases.
/p pWe are seeking an ambitious bSoftware engineer /b with bexpertise in machine learning, reproducible code, computational imaging and bioinformatics/computational biology workflows related to genomics.
/b The successful candidate will work at the interface of machine learning, pathology and genomics to help enable and accelerate the work of team members in the group (postdocs, PhD students).
/p pYou will work with the principal investigator and team to develop and productionise commonly used computational workflows and to harmonise tool/software usage across the lab.
You will maintain code (GitHub/Gitlab) used across the lab, be responsible for spotting usage patterns in different projects, harmonising them into a common software stack and offering solutions that can be used in different contexts.
The candidate will have the ability to work on several different digital pathology and spatial transcriptomics projects taking place in the group.
/p h3Grow Your Skills /h3 pYou will enhance your scientific and professional skills by working with a range of different data modalities and across a range of scientific projects: /p ul liLarge-scale whole slide imaging (WSI) histology datasets (HE, IHC) /li liSpatial transcriptomics /li liHuman genetics data (WGS)
/li liText based pathology reports /li liCutting edge ML approaches in self-supervised learning, foundation models, etc.
/li liBe part of a wider AI community, specifically the multimodal AI flagship project taking place at HT /li /ul pHuman Technopole also supports career development through training, mentoring and dedicated learning opportunities.
/p h3Essential Skills /h3 ul liMSc in machine learning / computer science or a related discipline.
/li liAt least 3 years in the role or similar one.
/li liStrong programming and data handling skills (e.g. git, HPC environments, etc) /li liFluency in English /li /ul h3Preferred Skills /h3 ul liPhD in relevant field /li liStrong software engineering skills /li liMachine learning experience applied to spatial transcriptomics and/or digital pathology datasets /li liA genuine interest in biology and solving biological problems or willingness to learn /li /ul h3Why Human Technopole /h3 pHT offers an international and dynamic workplace, competitive welfare provisions, flexible working policies and relocation support.
