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
