Post-doctorate in oral immunology with a focus on tissue degenerative processes, 2 years

 Umeå University is one of Sweden’s largest institutions of higher education with over 37,000 students and 4,800 faculty and staff. We are characterised by world-leading research in several scientific fields and a multitude of educations ranked highly in international comparison.

The Department of Odontology conducts teaching in the dental program, dental hygienist program and dental technician program as well as research in mouth, face and jaws. Today there are approximately 70 employees who work in education, research and administration within the department. Here is an opportunity to apply for a position as a postdoctoral fellow in oral immunology to in detail study the role of the immune system in periodontitis and general mechanisms that control inflammation-driven bone resorption. The employment is limited to two years and is full-time based in Umeå. Access by agreement. The application deadline is November 15.

Project description
Inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) is very common and is caused by bacteria found in connection with the teeth and gums. Due to factors that are not fully understood, only some develop periodontitis, which means that the gingivitis process turns into an extensive destruction of the collagen-rich connective tissue and bone that constitute the attachment of the teeth. Bone loss is not only seen in periodontitis, but also in, for example, peri-implantitis and rheumatoid arthritis. In these diseases, bone loss is considered an irreversible condition that risks impairing the function of teeth, implants and joints. However, the molecular mechanisms behind inflammatory bone loss are not fully mapped. Our hypothesis is that there are common molecules that cause inflammation-driven bone loss in individuals who, due to genetic factors, are more susceptible to disease. The overall aim of the project is to identify markers to detect who is at risk of suffering from inflammatory bone loss, such as periodontitis, before the bone breakdown begins. With our research, we also want to discover new osteoimmunological principles that could be attacked with targeted therapy to slow down or prevent inflammation-driven bone loss.

Job duties
In our research group, you are expected to contribute with your own ideas to the research project we are conducting. You must be able to work independently and have documented solid experience in experimental research. Your role will be to plan and carry out experiments under the supervision of the research group leaders, as well as to support more junior researchers, PhD students and students in adjacent projects with overlapping goals and methods. The work includes a lot of challenging laboratory work, but also requires independent work with project design, data analysis, presentation of results at scientific meetings, and writing of publications.

More specifically, you will perform flow cytometric analysis of bone marrow cells as well as different lymphocyte populations in gingival tissue. You will isolate and culture bone and connective tissue cells, work with experiments in a number of cell culture systems, and perform geno- and phenotype characterization with various techniques. Work in periodontitis, peri-implantitis and arthritis animal models may also be relevant.

Competence
Eligible to be employed as a postdoctoral fellow is someone who has completed a doctoral degree, or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree, in the subject of medical/biomedical research (e.g. immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology or biomedicine). This eligibility requirement must be met at the latest at the time when the employment decision is made.

We are looking for a driven and highly motivated employee who has documented experience in molecular biology research, flow cytometry, cell culture and gene expression and protein analyses. The applicant must have good knowledge of English, both spoken and written. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.

Meritorious
Since employment as a postdoctoral fellow is a merit-based position for junior researchers, we primarily target those who have a doctoral degree that is no older than three years from the last date of application. If there are special reasons, it can be considered as having completed a doctoral degree earlier. With special reasons is meant leave due to illness, parental leave, clinical duty, trust assignments in trade unions or other similar circumstances, as well as duty/assignment relevant to the subject area.

Documented experience in cultivating macrophages/monocytes/osteoclasts but also stromal cells such as fibroblasts and osteoblasts is meritorious for the position. Previous experience of postdoctoral work is meritorious for the position. Documented experience of independently performing flow cytometry assays (including design of new panels), as well as experience characterizing lymphocyte populations is a strong track record.

As work in experimental animal models is included in the duties, such experiences are considered meritorious.

The applicant should have a good ability to work clearly and in a structured manner and report the results obtained. Great importance is placed on the applicant's interest in the subject area and suitability for the project. Knowledge of Swedish is seen as meritorious.

Postdoctoral position in AI-enabled multimodal learning with explanations in healthcare

 Umeå University is one of Sweden’s largest institutions of higher education with over 37,000 students and 4,800 faculty and staff. We are characterised by world-leading research in several scientific fields and a multitude of educations ranked highly in international comparison.

The Department of Radiation Sciences is, in terms of research, a dynamic and internationally successful environment in radiology, oncology, cognitive neuro-science, radiation physics and bio-medical engineering. The department belongs to the Faculty of Medicine at Umeå University.

The Department of Radiation Sciences welcome applications for postdoctoral studies in Artificial Intelligence in healthcare. The position is for two years full-time, starting by agreement.

The project
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have the possibility to significantly contribute to improve patient treatments, in a trend towards personalized and predictive medicine. Indeed, while deep learning has shown its potential in many fields, healthcare included, we have assisted to extensive research of new quantitative biomarkers computed from the medical data already collected in clinical practice. However, most of the AI models consider only unimodal data, while there is the need to investigate the fusion between the heterogenous nature of healthcare data, such as images, molecular biomarkers, clinical data, and electronic health records (EHRs). Within this project, we are interested in studying multimodal deep learning as well as in explaining the decisions taken by this paradigm, two areas of great interest at its infancy. In particular, in multimodal deep learning we aim to address open scientific questions, i.e., which modalities are useful, how to fuse them and where this integration should happen, how to embed in the training any process able to learn more powerful data representations, how to get the optimal fusion architecture robust to missing data and missing modalities. As for multimodal explanations, there is the need to help physicians, regulators, and patients to trust AI models. However, the few efforts in multimodal explanations available in the literature have been directed towards computer vision and natural language applications, so that multimodal explanations are completely missing in healthcare. This project therefore addresses this challenge, particularly focusing on pre-modeling, during modelling and post-hoc modeling explanations at local level.

These topics will be applied to true data collected in the context of precision oncology, e.g., in lung cancer, where the prognosis variability, due to inter-patient, inter-tumor and intra-tumor heterogeneity, is a challenge for the scientific community. Hence, better prognostic and predictive tools to tailor treatment decisions for cancer patients are needed in order to maximize outcome and minimize unnecessary side-effects. To this end, multimodal deep learning and multimodal explanations will help us discovering new quantitative biomarkers from the heterogeneous digital patient phenotypes that are routinely collected in the clinical practice, and that we have already collected in previous research projects.

Work responsibilities
The researcher will design and implement multimodal learning algorithms, design and implement methods to provide explanations of the decisions taken, but he/she can also adapt and improve existing algorithms and methods. The Postdoctor will oversee data collection carried out the physicians, maintain the data and check their quality, prepare and analyse research data,summarize experiments, use graphics and any useful software to analyse and present data, prepare scientific manuscript for submission to international conferences and peer-reviewed journals, participate in project meetings and conferences. Working in vibrant and exciting environment the Postdoctor will also co-supervise PhD and master’s students.

Eligibility
A person who has been awarded a doctorate or a foreign qualification deemed to be the equivalent of a doctorate in one of these fields: artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science, biomedical engineering is eligible for appointment as postdoctoral researcher. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time at which the appointment decision is made. The applicant's degree, or through supplementary education, should have a specialization that includes,or combines, computer science with an AI or machine learning focus. The ideal candidate has a background in deep learning and machine learning, has experience with 1D, 2D, 3D medical data, such as images, as well as with tabular data, is able to write and/or critically review a scientific manuscript with high degree of autonomy.

Previous experience with multimodal learning as well as with eXplainable AI techniques is very well welcome.

Other qualifications
Since appointment as a postdoctoral researcher is a career-development position for junior researchers, we are primarily interested in applicants who completed their doctoral degree no more than three years before the application deadline. The following qualifications are recommended:

• MSc and PhD degree in the field of applied mathematics, computer science/informatics, (biomedical) engineering, (medical) physics or comparable applied / natural sciences
• Independent, pro-active, structured, and solution-oriented work attitude, analytical thinking, above-average commitment and enjoyment of working in an international and collaborative environment
• Knowledge in machine learning and deep learning, mostly for healthcare data Strong programming skills especially in python and the relevant deep learning libraries (pytorch or tensorflow) Experience in git and other version control
• Good publications track record in the relevant journals (e.g., Pattern Recognition, Medical Image Analysis, Information Fusion, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, IEEE Transactions in Medical Imaging, Knowledge-Based Systems, etc.)
• Experience and willingness of working in a multidisciplinary team, incl. clinicians and medical physicists
• Strong scientific communication and presentation skills in English
