Career and Education
IceLab is the nexus connecting researchers from across disciplines, bringing them together by sharing ideas and using quantitative tools to approach problems. The opportunities to get involved with IceLab are numerous. Present an open project you are working on, connect with other researchers, apply for an open position, take one of our courses, or collaborate with us. We invite you to reach out and become part of our network.
Join IceLab — Where Ideas Spark and Collaborations Take Off
At IceLab, we foster an open, collaborative environment designed to expand your knowledge and expose you to diverse perspectives. Everyone’s ideas are welcomed in our flat organizational structure.
We provide an exceptional interdisciplinary research environment with researchers in computational life science fields connected to many departments and centers at Umeå University. We are also part of networks like the Coalition for Life Sciences (CU4LS) and the Chemical Biological Centre (KBC), and our members are committed to collaborating across departments and faculties — because great ideas know no boundaries.
Our inviting physical space promotes chance encounters and creative collaboration. The Living Room hosts seminars, book clubs, and gatherings, while our kitchen's weekly Friday Fika builds community. For focus time, quiet meeting rooms are available, along with a calming aquarium for well-deserved brain breaks.
Junior researchers benefit from a supportive environment that extends beyond their projects, offering training opportunities in public speaking, scientific writing and visualization, recruitment panels, and networking. They gain valuable communication skills and become part of a vibrant social community.
Affiliated researchers and guests are always welcome at IceLab to use our facilities, join fikas, and share ideas.
