Post-doc job opportunity!

Are you looking for a post-doc in olfactory science? Maybe this opportunity to work with NOSE member Astrid Groot is of interest to you.

The general goal of this project is to “crack the code” of olfactory molecules (smell, odor) with the help of machine learning. Olfactory (smell, odor) interactions are the language of life (consider the role of scent in mating or locating food) and are central to countless applications in health and the environment, such as disease identification and pest control. A better understanding of structural properties of the design of olfactory molecules will lead to advances in all these applications. Unfortunately, the odor space comprises a virtually endless array of stimuli that cannot be classified into a single physical parameter. However, there are now many large olfactory datasets ranging from insects to humans that can be used for data-driven approaches to discover predictive patterns in the odor space. We are aiming at impactful science for controllable olfactory molecule design.
