Our mission is to transform bold scientific ideas into advances that improve human health. Within this mission, the Casale Group in the Health Data Science Centre develops AI methods that transform population-scale human data into mechanistic models of disease. Our research integrates large-scale human genetics with molecular and clinical data to generate testable hypotheses that accelerate biological discovery and therapeutic innovation. /p h3Your mission /h3 pAs Postdoc in Statistical Genetics, you will develop computational methods that connect human genetic variation to biological function. Using population-scale human genetics together with single-cell, spatial, and multimodal molecular data, you will identify the cells, cellular states, and biological programs through which genetic variation influences disease. Your work will sit at the intersection of statistical genetics, machine learning, and mechanistic biology, with opportunities to lead methodological innovation and drive high-impact biological discoveries. The role will give you access to population-scale human genetics, rich multimodal molecular and clinical datasets, and world-class AI and experimental research environments. This combination provides a unique foundation for ambitious research and enables biological questions to be explored at unprecedented scale. As part of Human Technopole's interdisciplinary AI ecosystem, you will engage closely with the European AI community,



including through collaborations with Helmholtz Munich and connections to the ELLIS network. Your work will benefit from interactions with computational, biological, and clinical groups across the institute, alongside opportunities for international collaboration, research exchanges, interdisciplinary training, and engagement with industry. You will also draw on the group’s established network across leading academic institutions and industry partners in Europe and North America, helping you build collaborations, broaden your expertise, and accelerate the impact of your research. /p h3Grow Your Skills /h3 pYou will enhance your scientific and professional skills by: /p ul liDeveloping next-generation methods integrating human genetics and multimodal biology. /li liDriving biological discovery across population-scale, molecular, and clinical data. /li liBuilding an internationally recognized research profile through top publications and conferences. /li liShaping the future of AI for science across academia, industry, and entrepreneurship. /li /ul h3Essential /h3 h3What you'll bring /h3 ul liPhD in Statistical Genetics, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Machine Learning, or a related quantitative discipline, or expected to be completed within the next six months. /li liStrong publication record in leading computational biology, genetics, or biomedical journals.
