Associate Scientist, Post Doc Fellow- Computational Pathology & Spatial AI will join the DAGS team to develop next-generation multimodal AI approaches that integrate histopathology, transcriptomics, and spatial biology. The role focuses on creating interpretable machine learning methods to characterize tumor microenvironment architecture and generate biological insights from routine H&E pathology images. You will build computational models to connect pathology images with molecular data, support biomarker discovery, and communicate findings through publications and cross-functional discussions. Required expertise includes deep learning, computer vision, representation learning, and multimodal modeling using Python and PyTorch. The work involves solving complex problems in oncology by analyzing tissue organization and disease-relevant patterns. Preferred skills include experience with foundation models, transformers, spatial transcriptomics, RNA-seq, and single-cell omics analysis to advance the understanding of tumor microenvironment biology and accelerate biomarker discovery across oncology.
