Open positions at FIMM

NORPOD is a collaborative postdoctoral program of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine. FIMM is currently seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Machine Learning in Biomedicine group, in collaboration with the Precision Cancer Epigenomics group at NCMM, through the NORPOD program.

Project: Novel insights into the cancer genome and epigenome using long-read sequencing and machine learning. This project will generate and analyse nanopore long-read sequencing data to investigate gene regulatory logic in cancer cells and understand the impact of DNA adducts to methylation, expression, and gene regulation. 

Main PI: Esa Pitkänen (FIMM), co-PI: Biswajyoti Sahu (NCMM)
