Competitive joint ETH Zurich–Roche BEST (Bio-Engineering Systems for Therapeutics) postdoc program at D-BSSE Basel, developing state-of-the-art generative AI models for AAV capsid protein design to improve gene therapy vectors' tissue tropism, immunogenicity profile, and manufacturing yield. The role combines computational generative modeling with wet-lab validation including library construction and NGS-based screening. PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, or bio-ML with hands-on generative protein model experience required.

The Sano Centre for Computational Medicine in Kraków is hiring a postdoc to lead the biological dimension of a four-year project developing 'microbiomeGPT'—a generative foundation model of the human gut microbiome—and adapting it into personalized digital tools for disease forecasting and intervention modeling for IBD, colorectal cancer, and Parkinson's disease. The role involves analyzing metagenomic datasets from thousands of public samples and proprietary cohorts, managing a longitudinal validation initiative with the Estonian Microbiome Cohort, and publishing in prominent journals. A PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, or microbiology, expertise in MetaPhlAn/HUMAnN, Python proficiency, and peer-reviewed publications are required; the position starts July 1, 2026.
