PhD Student in Computational Biomedicine and Disease Modeling | PhD (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This PhD position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and medicine, specifically focusing on human blood cancers. The successful candidate will join a DFG-funded project to develop and apply computational tools and mechanistic models to analyze DNA methylation networks in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Day-to-day tasks involve performing bioinformatic analyses, developing statistical and computational models to study DNA methylation dynamics, inferring interaction networks, and collaborating closely with experimentalists. This role is ideal for a highly motivated individual with a strong background in computational biology or a related field, excellent programming skills, and a desire to work in an interdisciplinary research environment to predict disease evolution and therapy response.
