[BBC] Open position at the European Institute for Systems Biology and Medicine

[Bertrand]

The EISBM is hiring a developer for AI based on multiple oncology data 
modalities.


    Key words:

Computational systems biology, machine learning/AI, web platform, 
clinical users’ acceptance.

We are looking for a dynamic and self-driven candidate thrilled to join 
an international cross-disciplinary team of biologists, clinicians, 
epidemiologists and computer scientists from academy and industry in 
their effort to better understand and treat solid tumour cancers.


    Scientific project:

This job offer is in relation with an Innovative Medicines Initiative 
(IMI) Research and Innovation Actions project. We aim at revolutionise 
oncology care in Europe by designing, developing, and delivering the 
first interoperable and GDPR-compliant European real-world oncology data 
and evidence generation platform, along with decision support toolsets 
for prostate, lung and breast cancer. By designing this platform from 
the onset based on the needs of the clinicians and patients in an 
inclusive and sustainable way, the project aims to strengthen shared 
decision-making based on innovative data and AI-driven technology and tools.

To achieve our vision, we have united the key partners from other 
data-driven European wide oncology initiatives (PIONEER, EHDEN, HARMONY) 
in our project along with Europe’s leading clinicians in the fields of 
breast, prostate and lung cancer. At the core of the project are the 
major guideline offices of the three indications, whilst the project is 
further strengthened by patient advocacy groups, professional societies 
and 6 SMEs as partners. The platform will build on existing open source 
solutions such as the OMOP-CDM , tranSMART and OHDSI ATLAS whilst 
developing novel AI models based on federated learning to facilitate 
knowledge discovery. At the start of the project, we will already have 
access to datasets covering over 120M people in Europe, along with high 
quality data patient cohorts for AI model building. Moreover, the 
platform will be hosted in-kind on existing infrastructure. Finally, we 
envision sustainability of the platform through a value-based approach 
with various business models for commercial users.


    Job context:

She/he will be part of the association EISBM led by Charles Auffray and 
based in the Lyon suburban area. EISBM is an equal opportunity employer 
offering attractive compensation packages and flexible working conditions.


    Scope:

-Participation in the development of AI models based on multiple data 
modalities (clinical, omics, imaging…) to answer several clinical 
research questions selected within the project.

-Integration of those models with the project’s web platform and with 
clinical guidelines-based models developed in the project.

-Gathering and prioritization of the user’s feedback (clinicians, 
researchers) using the AI models.

-Participation in the performance evaluation of the models and the web 
platform, including the level of use/acceptance by the users.


    Skills:

Engineer degree with 3+ years of experience, master’s degree in computer 
science with 3+ years of experience or PhD in sciences with the relevant 
expertise in the following:

-Machine learning (R, python…)

-AI (deep learning, convolutional neural network, natural language 
processing)

-Knowledge of the OMOP common data model

-Federated learning (e.g. NVIDIA Clara framework)

-Communication skills within an inter-disciplinary team of clinicians, 
patients, epidemiologists

-Fluent in English


    Contract details:

This contract will be for up to 48 months, starting in Q4 2021.

The salary will be depending on qualifications and experience, based on 
the pharmaceutical industry salary grid.

The applicants should send their CV, cover letter and two references to: 
jobs at eisbm.org <mailto:jobs at eisbm.org>, with the reference 
'EISBM-07-21-AI-BBC'

Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview.


  With my best regards,

Bertrand De Meulder,
