Two fully-funded PhD positions in machine learning for gene regulatory dynamics
Full announcement
here.
The newly opened
Ricci Lab at Institut Imagine in Paris, one of Europe's top biological research centers, is seeking
two Ph.D. students to work on data-driven dynamical systems modeling of genetic disease. Our lab's main goal is to build models which predict how biological systems (gene regulatory networks, cells, tissues) evolve in time and to understand how to intervene in these systems to minimize the health impact of complex genetic diseases.
Located in the heart of Paris, our lab welcomes candidates with strong backgrounds in applied mathematics, physics, computer science, or computational biology. The successful candidate will have had coursework and/or previous research experience in some of the following:
– Differential equations or dynamical systems
– Control theory or reinforcement learning
As part of our lab, you will have access to world-class computational and biological resources and will have the opportunity to collaborate with scientists at affiliated institutions like Institut Pasteur, PR[AI]RIE, Institut Necker, and others. Successful applicants will receive a PhD in Computational or Mathematical Biology from Université Paris Cité.
To apply, please send a CV, contact information for two references, and a brief description of relevant coursework and/or research experience (~ 1 page) to
matthew.ricci@institutimagine.org with`phd` in the subject line. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting
June 15, 2025. The intended start date is September 1, 2025, but this is flexible.
