The Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) is a German-Polish research center for data-intensive digital systems research. CASUS was founded in 2019 in Görlitz and conducts digital interdisciplinary systems research in various fields such as earth systems research, systems biology and materials research.
The Department of Systems Biology in collaboration with the Junior Professorship for lmmersive Media at TU Dresden is looking for a PhD student (f/m/d) Combining Human and Computer Superpowers for Interactive AR/VRIXR Data Analysis in Systems Biology excited about exploring the possibilities of combining natural user interfaces (e.g. via eye tracking) with machine learning-based approaches for interactive data analysis in Systems Biology. The position will be available from 1 February 2022. The employment contract is limited to three years.
The Scope of Your JobRecent developments in Systems Biology, such as the advent of Lightsheet Fluorescence Microscopes (LSFM) or CryoEM, have led to an unprecedented availability of large, spatiotemporal biological data, e.g. in the form of 3D/4D microscopy images or transcriptomics data. These data are often analyzed in an automated manner. However, algorithms might not always yield optimal results, which again leads to the necessity of a manual cu ration step. With the Bionic Tracking project, we have already started exploring the applicability of eye tracking-based interfaces in VR to aid 3D/4D cell tracking. In this project, we want to investigate the coupling of such interfaces with machine learning-based approaches, in order to make common tedious tasks such as cell tracking faster and more accurate.
