[BBC] Barcelona Supercomputing Center: PhD student in Computer Science and Bioinformatics (R1)

[BSC RRHH]

  PhD student in Computer Science and Bioinformatics (R1)

Reference: 194_19_LS_ICB_R1


*Context And Mission*

Professor Nataša Pržulj is looking for several PhD students to work in 
machine learning and network science. They will be developing new 
algorithms for computationally hard problems and applying them to 
analyzing large-scale molecular and patient data to aid drug discovery 
and personalizing treatment. The successful candidates will work on the 
prestigious ERC Consolidator grant of Prof. Pržulj.

The successful candidates will complete a PhD in Computer Science, which 
will address developing and applying sophisticated machine learning and 
network science models and algorithms. The algorithms will be carefully 
tuned to extract relevant biological and medical knowledge from 
systems-level real-world molecular and medical data. The aim is to 
utilize them to understand the structure of the data that would enable 
mining the data for new biological and medical insight that would 
further lead to improving diagnostics, discovering new biomarkers, 
improving patient stratification and treatment, personalizing treatment 
and facilitate rational drug development. The successful candidates will 
join a dynamic research group of Prof. Przulj within BSC. The students 
will work in a highly sophisticated HPC environment, will have access to 
systems and computational infrastructures, and will establish 
collaborations with experts in different areas.

*Key Duties*

  * Complete a PhD in computational biology
  * Collaborate with various research groups across Europe and elsewhere
