About BSC
The
Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de
Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center
in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful
supercomputers in Europe, and is a hosting member of the PRACE
European distributed supercomputing infrastructure. The mission
of BSC is to research, develop and manage information
technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC
combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer
and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences)
under one roof, and currently has over 600 staff from 49
countries.

Context And
Mission
Professor
Nataša Pržulj is looking for several post-docs 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 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.
