Postdoc in Harness, Swarm and Memory Engineering for Computational Biology

VIB

Ghent, Belgium

About the position

  • You oversee dozens of computational biology tasks across biological disciplines;
  • You launch agent swarms solving these tasks and monitor their progress;
  • You communicate with task experts to understand ongoing and emerging biological needs and translate them into new tasks;
  • In collaboration with our wet-lab team and collaborators, you identify and integrate validation data;
  • In collaboration with the VIB.AI ML unit, you manage a large codebase containing the harness, interpretation, memory, tasks, swarm behaviour and source datasets;
  • You formulate and test hypotheses that may improve the harness, long-term memory and/or swarming behaviour;
  • You present your research at international conferences and publish in scientific journals;
  • You contribute to the supervision of PhD students working in these areas.

Your profile

  • Excited to bring biology into the agentic era;
  • Broad interest across biological domains is a must;
  • PhD in computational biology, computer engineering, computer science, (bio)statistics, artificial intelligence, physics, or related;
  • Desire to push the frontier of both biology and (agent-driven) software engineering;
  • Fluency in written and spoken English;
  • Embraces complexity.
