PhD in Generative AI and Statistics: Coalescent-inspired diffusion models for discrete data

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to work at the intersection of Generative AI, Population Genetics, and Statistics. The project focuses on developing novel coalescent-inspired diffusion models tailored for discrete data, particularly for applications in evolutionary genetics and complex biological systems.

The successful candidate will join a vibrant, international research environment at the University of Oslo, contributing to the development of next-generation machine learning frameworks that bridge deep generative modeling with rigorous probabilistic structures from the natural sciences.
