Assistant Professor in Data-driven cell and molecular biology

 

We are looking to fill the position as DDLS fellow in Data driven cell and molecular biology.

The subject area concerns research that fundamentally transforms our knowledge about how cells function by peering into their molecular components in time and space, from single molecules to native tissue environments. This research subject area aims to lead the development or application of novel data-driven methods relying on machine learning, artificial intelligence, or other computational techniques to analyze, integrate and make sense of cell and molecular data.

Chalmers University of Technology welcomes a multidisciplinary approach to this position, in line with our organizational structure and tradition of collaboration across departments and external engagement with industry and society. We seek talented scientists with an excellent academic record in life science and/or computer science with the experience and desire to combine the two subjects in data-driven life science. Research relevant to this position is carried out at seven of Chalmers’ departments: Biology and biological engineering; Chemistry and chemical engineering; Computer science and engineering; Electrical engineering; Mathematical sciences; Microtechnology and Nanoscience; Physics. The host department for this position will be decided in dialogue with the selected candidate.

Within Chalmers, interdisciplinary interactions and industrial collaborations in Data driven cell and molecular biology are further facilitated by the cross-departmental Area of Advance Health Engineering, the strategic initiative of the Chalmers AI Research Centre (CHAIR), and the competence centres FoRmulaEx and MedTechWest. The Chalmers research environment is supported by common infrastructure resources for mass spectrometry, bioinformatics and e-infrastructure, all providing further contact to national research infrastructures. Chalmers is also part of the national Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software program (WASP).

Regionally, there are strong collaborations with the University of Gothenburg (e.g. shared departments in mathematics and computer science), and the Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The regional collaboration facilitates access to further research infrastructures within cellular imaging, experimental biomedicine, proteomics, as well as biobank materials. Chalmers has a broad industrial network with relevance for the position. AstraZeneca, located in Gothenburg, is an established partner in the FoRmulaEx centre, a high-resolution nanoSIMS instrument, and staff mobility programs, among others.

Generic description of the DDLS Fellows program
The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) is a 12-year initiative funded with a total of 3,1 billion SEK from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. The purpose of the program is to recruit and train the next-generation of data-driven life scientists and to create globally leading computational and data science capabilities in life science in Sweden.

The program will recruit 39 eminent young group leaders as DDLS Fellows, launch over 210 postdoctoral positions and establish a research school for 260 PhDs, within both academia and industry. The program is coordinated by SciLifeLab, a nationwide research infrastructure and a hub for cross-disciplinary life sciences. The Fellows will be recruited to the 11 participating host universities/organizations, enabling them to link up with strong local research environments as well as with the national DDLS program. The DDLS program promotes collaborative interdisciplinary work and engagement with industry, healthcare and other national and international partners, such as WASP, with the aim of bridging the life science and data science communities.

The DDLS program will focus on four strategic areas of data-driven research: cell and molecular biology, evolution and biodiversity, precision medicine and diagnostics, epidemiology and infection biology. We are now looking for the first 20 young group leaders to join us as DDLS Fellows.

Each DDLS Fellow will receive a recruitment package of 17 MSEK, which is meant to cover 5 years of their own salary, two PhD students and two postdoc positions, as well as running costs. The Fellow positions are tenure-track, and the universities/organizations will assume the long-term responsibility of their support as tenured faculty.

The future of life science is data-driven. Will you be leading that change with us? Then apply now!

Major responsibilities
The successful candidate will conduct research in line with the intentions described in your application. We want you to complement rather than duplicate our existing competences, and that you have an ambition to create synergies between our existing research groups.

As an Assistant Professor, you will contribute with:
- Active engagement in research, developing a distinct line of research through independent research projects.
- Active participation in education.
- Supervising undergraduate and graduate students.
- Applying for external research funding.
- Participating in joint departmental and university-wide activities.
- Seeking international collaborations on a high scientific level.
- Collaborating with research groups within and outside of Chalmers.

Position summary
The appointment as Assistant Professor is a four-year entry-level faculty position with tenure track, whereby the employee has the opportunity to acquire both pedagogical and scientific qualifications. An assistant professor is expected to improve their ability to formulate and solve scientific problems, to publish scientific articles, and to develop abilities in teaching and supervision, by means of both practical training and independent study. The aim is to achieve the level of Associate Professor within four years and if successful you will be offered a permanent faculty position at Chalmers.

Qualifications
We are looking for candidates who are interested in building a research group and attracting external funding and who are interested in research and education. You are open-minded and interested in collaborating across borders within and outside Chalmers. Interest in and experience from teaching and supervision as well as a post-doctoral or equivalent stay at an institution other than the one where the PhD was awarded are considered merits. Teamwork, leadership, organizational and entrepreneurial skills are advantages.

You have:
- A doctoral degree in a relevant field, not older than 7 years. Exceptions will be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave.

Assessment

Applicants will be selected after an overall assessment of merits and potential to carry out and develop the duties and responsibilities described above. In the assessment, scientific merit will be given first priority and teaching merit second.

In the assessment of scientific merit, particular emphasis will be given to research in neuropsychology and related areas such as cognitive neuroscience and biological psychology.

A broad expertise, encompassing several of the subfields of neuropsychology, experience of basic neuropsychological research, theoretical contribution to the area of neuropsychology and skills in neuropsychological method are particularly desirable. Publication in international journals are an important documentation and assessment basis for these skills and experience. Other evidence may include the development of methodologies and other research tools that are openly available. Having received and currently hold external funding is also an advantage.

Experience and skill in academic teaching and supervision should be well documented and verified. Demonstrated ability to teach in English, writing of teaching materials of high quality and documented development of courses or training modules are desirable, as well as experience of course coordination.

Furthermore, consideration will also be given to level of administrative skills especially the ability to create attractive research environments, documented for example through project leaderships, collaborations and by having organized research activities.

Good ability to communicate clearly, structured and pedagogical manner, spoken as well as written, are required. In addition, personal qualities such as accuracy and flexibility, and proven ability to take responsibility as well as to cooperate with others will also be taken into account. 

The selection process may include interviews, sample lectures and reference checks. In interviews, the applicants will be given the opportunity to describe and develop their own approach to teaching and research in the field of neuropsychology, as well as their future role at the department. These factors will also be included as a basis for the assessment when appropriate.
