In the Zelezniak lab at KCL, we are interested in fundamental understanding of the quantitative information that evolution encoded in biological sequences and learning from it for practical applications. This involves a range of fundamental biological problems and many practical applications: quantitative modelling of gene expression systems towards enabling predictive and controllable phenotypes, designing and improving proteins to control metabolic reactions, predicting of pathogenic mutations towards designing DNA, protein-based drugs and vaccines. We are an interdisciplinary team working collaboratively on computational and experimental problems, we always try to test all our computational models experimentally.
We seek two curious and self-driven postdoctoral bioinformatics researchers, a Research Associate and a Research Fellow (in bioinformatics and machine learning), with a strong background in applied deep learning to join our team. If you are proactive and passionate about AI research, interested in expanding your skills and knowledge to work on world-changing biological problems, believe in ideas that can be realized by doing great science and high-tech startups, join our team, you will meet alike people here. We are highly engaged in collaborative work and believe in 1+1=5. Our team includes postdocs, PhD students and students at all stages of their careers interested in the intersection of data science, AI and biology.
We are located at the Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics at King's College London (
http://zelezniaklab.org/). The Randall Centre is a vibrant research environment, hosting labs working in burgeoning fields in biomedicine. Our research addresses fundamental biological questions at the interface between the physical and biomedical sciences.
