The application deadline is the 19th of May, 2022. Do not hesitate to contact Steffen Oeltze-Jafra (oeltze-jafra.steffen@mh-hannover.de) for further information!

Marc Baaden is seeking two post-doctoral fellows to start immediately in his lab. His lab is focused on the development of novel approaches for interactive visualization of molecular structures, including using UnityMol to create 3D user interfaces and Virtual Reality applications. The positions will involve the development of novel software components for high throughput molecular visualization, as well as challenging biological applications. They are looking for someone that is passionate about Molecular Biology who also has skills in computer programming and graphics design. See more details at the following links:

• immersive scientific visualization of membrane proteins and their assemblies (PDF version)
• immersive scientific visualization of omic data (PDF version)

More information about the institute and work environment is described through a series of short videos with testimonials and overviews.

Do you want to contribute to changing the healthcare of the future? Are you interested in computer-assisted decision-making for diagnosis and therapy? Would you like to tackle the challenges associated with computerized clinical decision support such as generating explainable and interpretable underlying models, quantification and communication of uncertainty, providing visual guidance in decision model building, model maintenance, and integration of decision support into the clinical workflow?

If your answer is yes, apply for a PhD or a PostDoc position at the Peter L. Reichertz Institute (PLRI) for Medical Informatics, a joint institute of TU Braunschweig and Hannover Medical School (MHH), Germany. You will become part of a newly formed group embedded in a large, highly-motivated, international research team at PLRI, one of the largest university-based centers for medical informatics located in one of Europe’s most research-intensive regions.
