The Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Padua has opened a 2 year postdoc position in the frame of the project "SPECOLA – Spatial Transcriptomics through the Lens of Statistical Modeling and AI", funded by the European Research Council (ERC).

 

The selected candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Davide Risso and will lead the efforts related to the development of statistical models for the spatial analysis of transcripts and cells. In particular, the candidate will:

• study the spatial organization of transcripts within and across cells, allowing the identification of co-localized transcripts and transcripts preferentially located in certain cell compartments;
• study the spatial organization of cells, allowing the identification of cellular neighborhoods and spatial domains.
