15 PhD positions at Advanced machine learning for Innovative Drug Discovery (AIDD) http://ai-dd.eu

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network AIDD brings together 11 academic institutions (e.g., IDSIA, LINZ, AALTO, KUL, etc.) international companies (e.g., AstraZeneca, Bayer, Janssen) and is supported by partner organizations.

The main goal of the AIDD project is to train and prepare a new generation of scientists who have skills both in machine learning and in chemistry and can advance medicinal chemistry and speed up the drug development.

The project offers 15 PhD positions. Fellows employed will be supervised by academics who have excellent complementary expertise and contributed some of the fundamental AI algorithms which are used billions of times per day in the world, and leading EU Pharma companies who are in charge of new medicine and public health. All developed methods can be used individually but will also contribute to an integrated "One Chemistry" model that can predict outcomes ranging from different properties to molecule generation and synthesis. The network will offer comprehensive, structured training through a well-elaborated Curriculum, online courses, and six Schools.

Every fellow will work 1.5 years in an academic institution and 1.5 years in a company.
