Advanced Deep Learning Role

A key position is available to lead the development of sophisticated deep learning frameworks, including graph neural networks, attention-based models, and multi-modal learning approaches, to model RNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms and their dynamic interactions in disease.

This role will involve conducting original research in deep learning–based modelling of RNA-mediated gene regulation, with a focus on producing high-impact publications in leading peer-reviewed journals.

  • Designing, implementing, and optimising advanced neural network architectures tailored to biological sequence and network data, with a particular focus on RNA-mediated gene interactions.
  • Applying interpretable machine learning techniques to integrate diverse biological datasets and identify key regulatory elements for further experimental validation.
  • Collaborating closely with experimental researchers to align modelling outputs with hypothesis-driven laboratory studies.
The Ideal Candidate

We are seeking an exceptional postdoctoral researcher with:

  • A PhD (or near completion) in Computer Science, Computational Biology, Mathematics, Bioinformatics, or a related discipline.
  • Proven expertise in machine learning and algorithm development, with advanced skills in deep learning methods such as graph neural networks, attention mechanisms, and multi-modal data integration.
  • A working knowledge of RNA biology, including experience in modelling RNA isoform diversity or RNA–protein interactions.
  • A track record of independent research, evidenced by publications in peer-reviewed journals and/or presentations at scientific conferences.
  • Experience mentoring or supervising students in a research setting.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a research environment.
Our Research Environment

The John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) is a world-renowned institution within the ANU College of Science and Medicine.

Its mission is to decipher the intricate biological mechanisms crucial to human health, by delving into the vast enigmas of the genome, immune responses, and the brain, and leveraging these insights for the benefit of humanity.

The school's three divisions—Genome Science and Cancer, Immunology and Infectious Diseases (IID), and Neuroscience—reflect these thematic focuses and are complemented by interdisciplinary, cross-functional centers.
