Call for expression of interest to become a member of the DDLS research area expert groups
The DDLS steering group openly invites DDLS partner organizations and the Swedish scientific community at large to express their interest in becoming a member of three of the four DDLS research area specific expert groups, namely Data Driven Cell and Molecular biology, Data Driven Evolution and Biodiversity and Data Driven Epidemiology and Biology of infection. To express your interest you need to fill in all required information in the form at the bottom of this page.
Background
The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) focuses on four strategic areas for data-driven research: Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB), Biodiversity and Evolution (BE), Epidemiology and Biology of Infection (EBI) and Precision Medicine and Diagnostics (PMD). Activities within the four strategic research areas (RAs) of the DDLS program are planned and coordinated by four research area specific expert groups. The DDLS Research Area expert group consists of up to 9 members plus a chair.
Call details
If you are interested in participating in one of the DDLS RA expert groups, please submit your expression of interest via the form at the bottom of this page.
Fill in all required information and justify your interest well and indicate why you will be the ideal candidate. Submit your expression of interest and a max 2-page CV by September 29, 2025.
Any questions are directed to the coordinator of the respective DDLS Research Area. See contact information below. Please note that the expert groups seek additional members, so there will only be a few seats available.

Role of the DDLS research area specific expert groups
The expert groups are important in creating and promoting communities and collaborations across scientists within and between the research areas. The RA expert groups work together with DDLS fellows in each area, PhD student and postdoc communities, the DDLS Research School and Training Hub, the Data services and support, and the Bioinformatics support. The DDLS RA expert group works under the DDLS steering group and represents an important interaction between the DDLS community and the industry, healthcare and other external stakeholders.
