** NEW ** – (Aug 2024)
We are seeking a highly motivated Master’s student with a background in Computer Science and a keen interest in biological applications to join our innovative project focused on developing a DNA language model (DNA-LM).
The successful candidate will be instrumental in designing and training a novel DNA-LM that integrates zygosity information to analyze genetic sequences. This role requires strong programming skills, particularly in Python, along with experience using machine learning frameworks like PyTorch and HuggingFace. Familiarity with NLP and sequence analysis will be advantageous.
The project is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of computational biology and machine learning, offering valuable experience in handling large-scale genomic data and developing DNA-LMs that could significantly help genetic studies.
Master Thesis Projects
Master Thesis Projects are started once the 90 credits of master cycle are obtained.
Projects should last 17 weeks – they are worth 30 credits.
Master Thesis Projects must be done individually.
Semester Projects and Lab Immersions
LST and BIOING students may do one semester project and several lab immersion(s) during their Master studies.
Semester projects are worth 12 credits, lab immersion 8 credits.
