Dear all,
My group in Barcelona has several PhD and postdoc positions open in
network science and machine learning applied to molecular and clinical
omics data.Announcements are below and attached.
If anyone is looking for a PhD studentship, or a postdoc, please come
our way.
If you could circulate this at your university, or in your group of
collaborators, that would also be very much appreciated!
Thank you and have a great weekend!
Natasa

*_JOB DESCRIPTION_***
*Job Title: PhD student positions in Integrative Computational Network
Biology*
*Context and Mission of the role*
Professor Nataša Pržulj is looking for several PhD students to work in
analyzing large-scale molecular and patient data to aid personalizing
treatment. The successful candidates will work on the prestigious ERC
Consolidator grant of Prof. Pržulj titled “Integrated Connectedness for
a New Representation of Biology”. The successful candidates will
complete a PhD, which will address multiple topics: developing and
applying sophisticated models and algorithms carefully tuned to extract
relevant biological and medical knowledge from systems-level real-world
molecular and medical data, including whole genome sequences, epigenetic
data, protein-protein interaction networks, signaling networks,
metabolic networks, transcriptional regulation networks, gene and
disease ontologies, drug similarity networks, drug-target interactions,
drug-drug interactions, patient records, lifestyle data, electronic
health records etc.; the aim is to mine these inter-linked heterogeneous
networked data for new biological and medical insight that would 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.
*Responsibilities*
·Complete a PhD in computational biology.
·Collaborate with various research groups across Europe, USA, Canada and
elsewhere.
*Requirements*
·Education:
oMSc in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Bioinformatics, or a
related field.
oBSc in Computer Science is preferred.
·Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience:
oFluency in spoken and written English.
*Competences*
To be successful in this role the candidate should have:
·Good technical skills including at least some of the following:
bioinformatics, network biology, network medicine, network analytics,
medical informatics, algorithms, statistics, machine learning,
programming in C, C++, a scripting language and Matlab, using a parallel
computing environment, scientific computing, data analysis, graph,
network and complexity theory
·Good written and verbal communication skills in English
·Ability to work in a professional environment within a
multidisciplinary and international team
·Critical and creative thinking skills
·Ability capacity to interact and build strong relations with a diverse
members/stakeholder/staff base
·Ability to work independently and in a team
·Ability to take initiative, prioritize and work under set deadlines and
pressure
**
*Conditions*
·A competitive salary will be provided, matched to the cost of living in
Barcelona, depending on the experience and skills of the candidate.**
*Applications Procedure*
Please send the following documents to natasha at bsc.es
<mailto:natasha at bsc.es>:
1.A full CV including contact details.
2.Academic transcripts from Undergraduate and MSc.
3.Three letters of recommendation. The references should email their
letters directly to natasha at bsc.es <mailto:natasha at bsc.es> before the
deadline.
4.A statement of motivation and research interests.
*Diversity and Equal Opportunity Employment*
