Phd Position: Explainability and Uncertainty

vor 2 Wochen


BerlinBuch, Deutschland Max-Delbrück-Centrum für Molekulare Medizin Vollzeit

PhD student

The Biomedical Image Analysis lab pursues theoretical advances in machine learning and combinatorial optimization to solve challenging image analysis problems in biology. Their aim is to facilitate scientific discovery via automated analysis of high-throughput microscopy data.
As a PhD Student in the Biomedical Image Analysis lab, you will establish concepts and methods for uncertainty modeling and explainability in the context of structured predictions on images.

The PhD Project aims at establishing concepts and methods for uncertainty modeling and explainability in the context of structured predictions on images. Such predictions are of complex structure compared to, e.g., image-level predictions in that they involve many interacting output variables, usually one per pixel. A use case is image segmentation, where the project will particularly focus on instance segmentation in microscopy images from the biomedical domain.

The position is embedded in the DFG AI Research Unit DesBi.

**Requirements**:

- MSc (or equivalent) in mathematics, computer science, physics, or a related field
- Background in statistics, machine learning, computer vision, or image analysis
- Enthusiasm for formal method development as well as for empirical work with microscopy image data from the biomedical domain
- Keen interest in fundamental research questions in the biomedical sciences
- Python coding skills are a plus

**We offer**:

- International working environment with communication in English and German
- Interesting career opportunities and a comprehensive range of qualification and further training opportunities
- Compatibility of family and career certified by the berufundfamilie audit
- Varied support for "New Berliners" (Welcome & Family Office)
- Company health management with fitness center

You also benefit from:

- A remuneration in accordance with the collective agreement for the federal public service (TVöD-Bund), including additional company pension schemes
- Flexible working hours and childcare support
- Additional health benefits such as flu vaccination, eye test, ergonomics advice at the workplace, and hygiene measures
- The possibility of mobile working - also independent of the Corona situation
