Thank you! Any candidates for the positions in your network? Brilliant postdocs who want to develop and maintain large-scale computational tools? Excellent students who want to try their hand at a challenging theoretical biology PhD while living in one of the most beautiful cities in the world?

For the PhD students, I have many interesting project proposals in mind. Please apply to the Vienna BioCenter PhD Program (lnkd.in/eCDPSGyp) and/or contact me for more information. Especially, if you're ambitious, interested in single-cell decisions, and have a strong computational background.

The research manager is a unique academic opportunity: lnkd.in/e7NiTvNY. It's long-term and comprises almost all the tasks of a group leader (solving scientific puzzles, mentoring, driving collaborations), while still leaving time to do the actual coding. Really, I'd almost apply myself.

one of the best places to do it: with various very strong experimental groups working on development and tissue regeneration, we will collaborate with the best!
*And I'm looking for people to join me!* In particular, a "computational research manager", 2 PhD students, and maybe some MSc students.

Let us know what you think after reading everything!

I'm surprised you're the first to make this joke. Congrats

Represent the data by a tree structure! That’s the idea that @erikvannimwegen.bsky.social‬ proposed 3 years ago, and what we’ve been working on ever since. It came with many theoretical and computational challenges, but now I’m confident that we’ve created something truly worthwhile.

and UMAP are so popular, even though everyone agrees they severely mess up your data? It's because there was nothing better, and some data, just demand a visual tool for exploration. Indeed, it’s hard to beat UMAP in the low-dimensional embedding game, unless you just change the game:
