Open Call for Research Group Leaders | <\/strong>The Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine (GIMM) (gimm.pt) invites applications for a Group Leader (PI) position to establish an independent research program that addresses biomedically important questions using advanced bioinformatic and computational approaches as a primary methodology. We welcome candidates whose work combines method innovation with deep biological insight and a clear path to impact on human health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GIMM\u2019s research is organized across two complementary programs: GIMM Discovery, focused on fundamental biology, and GIMM CARE, dedicated to clinical and applied research, including translational studies and partnerships with the healthcare ecosystem. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative environment spanning basic, translational, and clinical research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Research Scope<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome applicants addressing fundamental or translational questions across biomedical research. Strong candidates will develop and\/or apply advanced computational approaches, including but not restricted to machine learning\/AI and network or systems biology, to extract biological insight from rapidly expanding, data-rich omics and imaging technologies and to improve their interpretation and impact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applicants are encouraged to articulate how their research program will interface with GIMM\u2019s Discovery and\/or CARE activities, including opportunities to collaborate with experimental and clinical colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
