The Institute of Computational Biology is globally recognized for innovations in data analysis and modeling of biological systems and diseases, anchored at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University Munich. The Theis Lab has a long-standing reputation for pioneering machine learning and AI methods in molecular biology, in particular on single-cell genomics and microscopy.

scArches is one of the leading toolkits for reference-based analysis of single-cell data. scArches is compatible with deep learning models integrating datasets across different modalities and labs while allowing users to update the integrated reference using concepts from life-long learning continually. scArches provide different capabilities, from querying cells to see if they were changed after the disease, mapping cells to gene programs, building cell hierarchies, and spatial organization of the tissue.

We plan to extend scArches by developing base models supporting different data modalities in addition to improving the performance and speed of reference mapping using advanced life-long learning. The ideal candidate will work with a high degree of independence and have several opportunities to shape scArches according to your own ideas and contributions. You will work in a highly collaborative environment with a young and agile team, and will receive direct and tangible feedback on your work in a very inclusive and skilled community.
