Researcher in Artificial Intelligence applied to life sciences (RRE) *Reference:*173_LS_AI_RRE *Context And Mission* The Life Sciences Department at the BSC integrates the independent research of senior scientists that work on various aspects of computational biology, ranging from bioinformatics for genomics to computational biochemistry and text mining. The Computational Biology group is involved in multiple projects in collaboration with experimental groups generating state-of-the-art genomics and epigenomics datasets, actively participating in the International Human Epigenome Consortium and with the general aim of enabling new approaches in personalized medicine. Current efforts involve integration of different types of omics data, with a particular emphasis on epigenomics. We are establishing methods to study genome architecture exploiting interdisciplinary tools such as machine learning and network theory. The mission of the Computer Science Department at the BSC is to influence the way machines are built, programmed and used: computer and system architecture, programming models and performance tools, resource management, Big Data and artificial intelligence. The HPAI (High Performance Artificial Intelligence) research group is part of the Computer Science department, and it performs research in Artificial Intelligence, focused on the solutions, problems and infrastructure provided by High Performance Computing. The group actively collaborates with researchers from other fields, with the goal of applying machine learning to challenging problems in a wide variety of domains. HPAI has active collaborations with several large tech companies, pursuing lines of research of common interest. The group is also involved in multiple research projects, both European and national. Although the HPAI is open to all aspects of AI, currently its main lines of research are deep neural networks and graph analytics. The post holder will collaborate with the Life Sciences department and the HPAI research group in the Computer Science department, with the goal of finding AI solutions to life sciences challenges. This will include working closely with researchers from both areas, programming, testing and dissemination of the research. The candidate will be able to develop an independent research programme within the broad topics mentioned above. The Researcher will work in a highly sophisticated HPC environment, will have access to state-of-the-art systems and computational infrastructures, and will establish collaborations with experts in different areas both at the local and international levels. *Key Duties* * Development of AI solutions, with special emphasis on machine learning methods, for the analysis and interpretation of biological data * Use predictive computational methods based on statistical and inference approaches to model complex biological processes * Integration of heterogeneous data sources using advanced data mining techniques MORE INFO & APPLY HERE:https://www.bsc.es/join-us/job-opportunities/173lsairre <https://www.bsc.es/join-us/job-opportunities/173lsairre> http://bsc.es/disclaimer
