Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute

Join us at the world-leading CRUK Cambridge Institute. We're a unique department of the University of Cambridge, core funded by Cancer Research UK's charitable activities, and we're eagerly searching for a postdoctoral Research Associate to join our Aliee Group.

In the Aliee lab, we aim to address fundamental questions in biomedicine through advancing machine learning. We develop models that represent and reason about complex biological systems, enabling predictions and interventions that can alter system behaviour in desired ways. For example, why do cells respond differently to stimuli? Why do patients vary in their responses to treatment? And what if the genome is altered - how would outcomes change?

Central to our work is the development of probabilistic generative models and counterfactual reasoning frameworks that uncover latent mechanisms and enable principled hypothesis testing. Our goal is to advance the theory of representation learning and causal inference in high-dimensional, structured data, ultimately uniting rigorous machine learning foundations with biological discovery.
