Job Summary
In this role, you will develop automated image analysis workflows, implement machine learning methods for data evaluation, and coordinate data management projects within interdisciplinary research teams.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Design, implement and refine automated image analysis workflows, including machine learning-based methods for segmentation, feature extraction and multidimensional molecular and morphological feature-based classification in complex datasets.
- Collaborate closely with experimental scientists to develop scalable, robust, and automated data pipelines and flexible toolsets to support diverse microscopy-based research projects, including the integration of multimodal datasets (e.g., imaging, omics, and spatial omics).
- Serve as the primary point of contact for planning, coordinating and advising on image analysis projects within IDIP and the SynthImmune consortium.
- Work in close partnership with leading AI-based data analysis research groups on campus to co-develop and implement innovative computational approaches for consortium-wide challenges.
- Lead the implementation of data management practices across the SynthImmune consortium, promoting standardization and best practices.
- Ensure compliance with FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reproducible) data principles in collaboration with IT teams.
- Foster interdisciplinary collaboration by actively engaging with researchers across biology, bioinformatics and data science.
- Train and support scientists in coding, automated workflows, and image analysis best practices to build sustainable in-house expertise.
