Jobbeschreibung
100%, Basel, fixed-term
This is an interdisciplinary Post-Doc position funded by a 3-year grant from the Personalised Health and Related Technologies () program. You will work in the group of Prof Iber (ETH, computational biology), and collaborate with Prof Ulbrich (ETH, animal physiology), and Prof De Geyter (University Hospital Basel, reproductive medicine).
The preferred starting date is January 2023; the exact starting date can be negotiated.
Project background
The goal of the project is to develop computational personalized medicine approaches to improve the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) using human and farm animal data. Given our detailed understanding of ovarian follicle maturation, personalized medicine approaches can go beyond statistical correlation and can be based on a mechanistic understanding of the hormonal control of ovarian follicle maturation.
Job description
You will focus on the development of predictive mathematical models that integrate literature data and newly generated data from farm animals and patients (3D images, hormone levels, gene expression time series) into a consistent framework that will allow us to provide data- and model-driven guidance regarding the best IVF treatment schedule. In collaboration with a PHRT-funded PhD student, the mathematical model will be carefully tested in clinical settings and then integrated into software for clinical use.
Your profile
- You are experienced in building mechanistic, predictive mathematical models based on biological data.
- It is a plus if you have previous experience with image processing, finite element methods, and software engineering, as well as expertise regarding the female endocrine and reproductive system.
- You are self-motivated and enthusiastic about leveraging mechanistic modelling for personalised medicine, advancing FemTech, and contributing to the establishment of a strong personalised medicine/personalised health research community in Switzerland, for the eventual benefit of patients and citizens.
