The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Southern Denmark for the Computational Biology group chaired by Associate Professor Richard Röttger invites applications for a postdoctoral position for the creation of a federated metadata repository amenable to federated machine learning for sensitive clinical data to be filled as soon as possible. The position will initially be for a period of one year, extendable up to three years. Application deadline: 25 April 2022.
A large roadblock of medical research is the difficult access to sensitive data which therefore hinders the training of complex and powerful machine learning concepts. This issue is amplified when considering rare diseases with low incidence numbers per hospital. The aim is to utilize the scattered data across Europe and make these data treasures amenable for machine learning.
First and foremost, this requires a federated metadata infrastructure which makes the scattered data findable and ensures interoperability, while not transferring any sensitive data from the site of storage. The federated metadata repository will allow the identification and selection of suitable patients across the sites of storage without the need of ever transferring sensitive information. Federated algorithms can subsequently be trained on the defined cohorts, again without sensitive data leaving the safe harbour of storage. Additionally, it is required to ensure the compatibility and interoperability of the data at the different sites by developing complex data homogenization and standardization pipelines which can flexibly be deployed and adjusted to the requirements of the data holding sites.
The successful candidate will be part of a large European endeavour Screen4Care and working in a dynamic, international, and interdisciplinary environment. Screen4Care is funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative in a public/private partnership between numerous, high-profile research institutes and the EFPIA. The overall vision of Screen4Care is to shorten the path to rare disease diagnosis; the envisioned federated algorithms and infrastructure are one key aspect of fulfilling this vision.
Within SDU, the candidate will be embedded in a highly international and powerful consortium as a member of the Computational Biology group which offers a wide expertise in machine learning of biomedical data, both in the realm of unsupervised and supervised learning. We also provide the candidate with direct access to state-of-the-art computing facilities optimized for deep learning and distributed computing.
We are seeking outstanding candidates with strong analytical and problem solving skills, who are strong in written and oral communication (in English), and have documented experience in the development and maintenance of computer infrastructures and data homogenization, state-of-the-art web-development frameworks and virtualization techniques. Experience with working with clinical data and in machine learning are highly welcome.
Place of work:
Computational Biology Group (Associate Professor Richard Röttger, [email protected]), Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, located at the main campus of the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
