IT specialist position in the scientific project Deep optimized generation for antimicrobial peptide discovery (DOG-AMP) financed by the European Commission (grant agreement no 101125506) The ERC project Deep optimized generation for antimicrobial peptide discovery (DOG-AMP), led by prof. Ewa Szczurek, is offering one collaborator position in the Institute of Informatics at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, and Mechanics of the University of Warsaw.

Terms of employment
Selected candidates will be employed on an IT specialist position on 25% working time. The duration of employment is one year with possible prolongation. The expected starting date is not earlier than the 1st of December 2025, up to an agreement between the candidate and the principal investigator. The offered salary combined (basic salary approx. 1260 PLN gross/month plus project bonus) is around PLN 2260 gross/month.

Description of the project
A particular focus of the offered position swill be on novel artificial intelligence methods for antimicrobial peptide design. The artificial intelligence focus will be topological data analysis and their integration into generative AI. The projects involve strong collaborations with international experimental partners. The positions are funded by the prestigious ERC Consolidator grant DOG-AMP.

Requirements

A university degree (at least BSc or Eng.) or minimum of 5 years of work experience (candidates with high school diploma) is a must.

We expect that candidates at the moment of employment have an excellent background in mathematics and computer science. Good command of English is required. A good understanding of fundamental theoretical concepts in generative AI and topological data analysis is needed, as well as strong programming skills combined with a mathematical mindset. The candidates should have interest in addressing clinical and biomedical questions.

Applications
An application should include Curriculum Vitae that presents an overview of the background and scientific achievements of the candidate.
In addition to the above, there should be attached a signed personal data clause (attached).
Applications, as well as further questions on both the scientific topic of the project and on formal details of the call procedure, should be directed to prof. Ewa Szczurek:
