The Computational Biology group, led by ICREA professor Alfonso Valencia, is looking for a junior research engineer to work in the framework of a European project: COMMUTE: Comorbidity mechanisms utilized in health care. This project is divided into two main sections. COMMUTE is a project characterized by the combination of two fundamentally different approaches: a hypotheses-free, data-driven approach is building on available big data and the application of cutting edge AI/ML technologies to answer the question, whether infection by SARS-CoV-2 causes effects that result in a higher risk for the development of neurodegenerative diseases at population-level. Complementary to that, a hypothesis-driven, knowledge-based approach leverages the substantial knowledge in the scientific community working on neurodegenerative diseases on the putative comorbidity mechanisms linking COVID and neurodegeneration.
The selected candidate will work in a highly sophisticated High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment, have access to state-of-the-art systems and computational infrastructures, and establish collaborations with international and local experts in different areas of biomedical research.
Key Duties
- Train and evaluate different AI/ML model architectures for the prediction of the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
- Model interpretation using SHAP.
