3 years PhD position in probabilistic machine learning and statistics

Offer Description

We invite applications for a three-year PhD Research Fellowship in probabilistic machine learning and statistics at the Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology (OCBE), Department of Biostatistics, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences (IMB), University of Oslo (UiO), Norway.

The project focuses on developing probabilistic latent-variable methods for large and structured biological data, with applications in genomics, spatial transcriptomics, and fluorescence imaging.

High-dimensional and structured biological data are increasingly common in modern biomedical research but remain challenging to analyse because of their scale, heterogeneity, and complex spatial and functional dependencies. Existing methods often rely on restrictive assumptions or application-specific computational workflows. The PhD project aims to address these limitations by developing a unified, scalable, and interpretable framework for probabilistic unsupervised learning for structured biological data.
