The Role and Department The Centre for Advanced Instrumentation (CfAI) is a major research group in the Department of Physics at Durham University with approximately seventy staff and research students. Developing state-of-the-art instruments for use in astronomy, biophysics, remote sensing, fusion diagnostics and much more To undertake a world-leading programme of education and research with international impact, based on the development of novel instrumentation and cutting-edge technologies with applications across a range of strategically important scientific areas of benefit to modern society.The group is distributed across two physical locations: The Department of Physics located in Durham itself, with its world leading reputation in academic research. Secondly, there is a dedicated technology facility based at NETpark in nearby Sedgefield, providing access to advanced technical facilities for the assembly and test of complex instrumentation. CfAI has provided major instruments for many of the world's leading astronomical facilities including the James Webb Space Telescope, William Herschel Telescope, Gemini Telescopes, Southern African Large Telescope and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. Major current ground-based instrumentation projects in CfAI include HARMONI and MOSAIC, the first-light spectrograph and multi-object spectrograph for the upcoming 40m diameter ). This will be the world's largest optical telescope, enabling observations of the faintest and most distant objects in the Universe in unparalleled detail. Adaptive Optics (AO) is a technology that provides high-speed optical correction for image distortions caused by the atmosphere and telescope itself . The Role CfAI is seeking a systems engineer with proven systems engineering experience as an accomplished, practicing Systems/Project Engineer to work on an opto-mechanical ground-based instrumentation project for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). In addition to being an accomplished design engineer in a primary engineering discipline (optical, mechanical, electronics, control, and/or software engineering), you will have proven experience of leading an international multidisciplinary engineering team. Typically, our projects involve international consortia, mainly based in Europe, and some level of domestic and international travel should be anticipated. As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will be a key player and will be part of the project management team. You will be responsible for the requirements engineering, the overall system architecture, the coordination of assembly, integration, verification, installation, commissioning, and delivery of our astronomical and scientific products. Working as a senior member of the team, you will have the freedom to define, control and execute your own work plan without the need to be supervised and you will have many opportunities to innovate and develop new technical solutions, with considerable scope to be creative.

Postdoctoral Fellow- Computational Biology and Machine Learning Do you want to help us improve human health and understand life on Earth? Make your mark by shaping the future to enable or deliver life changing science to solve some of humanity's greatest challenges. We are hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow/Senior Postdoctoral Fellow to join our interdisciplinary team at the forefront of computational biology and AI for a 3 year fixed term contract. You will contribute to (lead - Senior Postdoctoral Fellow) transformative projects that integrate single cell genomics, spatial transcriptomics, and generative AI to build next generation models for understanding tissue biology and cellular dynamics across organs such as the pancreas, kidney, skin, and liver. We welcome applicants from diverse technical and scientific backgrounds - from those interested in fundamental questions in biology and medicine, to those focused on ML/AI method development. We are particularly excited to work with individuals who are passionate about biology, foundation model development, modelling cellular perturbation responses, predicting patient behaviours, and analysing multi modal biological data. Available Research Focus Areas 1. Spatial & Multi omics Atlas Construction Build large scale spatial and single cell atlases across diseased tissues (pancreas, kidney, skin, liver) using spatial transcriptomics, scRNA seq, and multiome data in collaboration with leading Sanger groups. 2. Generative AI for Cell Fate & Perturbations Develop diffusion, flow matching, and transformer based generative models to predict cell fate, tissue remodelling, and drug or perturbation responses in silico. 3. Foundational Models for Single Cell Biology Train large, generalisable deep models across public and internal datasets to support the Human Cell Atlas and broad Sanger research programmes. 4. Open Targets Translational AI Projects Apply foundational and multi omics models to real world challenges in drug discovery, target identification, and target safety in collaboration with major pharma partners. 5. Agentic AI for Scientific Reasoning & Experiment Design (new) Develop AI agents capable of hypothesis generation, experiment planning, and multi step scientific workflows using reinforcement learning and tool use models. 6. Core Machine Learning Research Advance fundamental ML methods-including advanced generative modelling, scalable training algorithms, representation learning, and uncertainty modelling-tailored for biological data. 7. Multimodal Learning (Imaging + Genomics + Clinical Data) Create models that integrate histopathology imaging, spatial proteomics, single cell genomics, and patient level clinical data to learn unified biological and clinical representations. 8. Leap Project We are interested in developing large scale AI models to stratify patients using diverse multi omics data, with a strong commitment to equity and inclusion, particularly in women's health. The Open Targets (OT) research programme generates and analyses data to connect targets to diseases, assess the strength of this evidence, and help identify and prioritise targets for drug discovery. This includes evidence that causally links targets and diseases, as well as foundational data that helps us understand biological processes and disease progression more deeply. About Us You will join the Lotfollahi Group, an interdisciplinary team of ML researchers, computational biologists, clinicians and experimentalists. Our mission is to develop data driven and biologically grounded AI tools for decoding complex cellular systems.
