Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time
Job Description

The Postdoc project involves developing patient-level multi-modal foundation models for studying cardiometabolic disease. Using data from large international biobanks, you will take part in developing and training state-of-the-art deep learning-based foundation models.

These models will be based on existing frameworks in our group, EIR (Sigurdsson et al., 2023, NAR) and MOVE (Allesøe et al., 2023, Nature Biotechnology). Your tasks will include methodologies such as neural networks, variational autoencoders, transformers, and more.

You will interpret the results and disseminate them through presentations and manuscript preparation.
