Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute

The Markowetz lab at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work on data integration and deep learning for pathology. This is an opportunity for an ambitious scientist to lead the development of machine learning methods for clinically important diagnostic questions in oesophageal, breast and ovarian cancer. The project focuses on deep learning for pathology images plus data integration of paired genomic profiles. The lab has established close collaborations with oncologists and pathologists.

The Markowetz lab is a mixed computational/experimental lab with a strong track record in machine learning working on a broad range of topics in cancer genomics and imaging. It offers a supportive and diverse environment (see: Markowetz, 'You are not working for me, I am working with you', PLoS Comp Bio 2015) and has been a jumping board for many successful careers in academia, industry, and spin-off companies. Alumni had the independence to build on their projects and kick-start their careers.

The Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, a joint Institute by Cancer Research UK and the University of Cambridge, is situated in the centre of the Addenbrooke's Biomedical Campus in Cambridge. As part of the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine, the Institute's research ranges from basic cancer biology through translational cancer research to clinical application. The Institute currently houses over 350 researchers and support staff with 20 research groups. It provides a highly collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment in cancer research, with state-of-the-art facilities and core scientific resources, and good links with the scientific community of Cambridge.
