- Hold an MSc degree in computational or natural sciences.
- Possess a strong computational or quantitative focus (computational biology, bioinformatics, mathematics, or related field).
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and R.
- Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with team members and scientific collaborators.
- Solid knowledge of statistics and experience with state-of-the-art machine learning methods.
- Ability to work independently and tackle challenging analysis tasks.
Required Documents: Applicants are required to submit the following documents:
- CV detailing academic and research background.
- Cover letter expressing interest in the scholarship.
- Copies of academic transcripts and certificates.
- Two letters of recommendation.
