Th= e gap between data generation and data interpretation is increasing at an a= larming rate in the biomedical and biological communities. In order to over= come the hindrance of analysing complex, heterogeneous, high-throughput dat= asets and reducing the gap of data generation and interpretation a designat= ed computational infrastructure for managing and analysing big datasets is = required. The eHealth and Life Sciences Unit at the INSIGHT Centre for Data Analytics= (previously known as Digital Enterprise Research Institute), National Univ= ersity of Ireland, Galway, invites applications for PhD positions in the ar= ea of Data Analytics for eHealth and Life Sciences domain. We plan to inves= tigate some of the core challenges in developing a scalable, robust and rel= iable platform to integrate and analyse the associations between biomedical= and biological datasets. We have currently open PhD positions in the follo= wing research areas: Knowledge Representation & Integration: This is particularly targeted towar= ds (1) ontology building for eHealth and Life Sciences domain: to build a c= onsistent and unifying knowledge framework from several domain specific/pro= prietary/standard vocabularies, codes, and terminologies has been considere= d as one of the hardest challenge in the Life Sciences domain; and (2) onto= logy alignment for eHealth and Life Sciences domain: aligning Life Sciences= artefacts represented at the various levels of granularity, structure, and= purposes has been considered as an open research problem for computer scie= ntists as well as the domain experts. The PhD candidate will work to addres= s these challenges and develop next generation ontology building and alignm= ent algorithms and tools for the eHealth and Life Sciences domain. Data Integration & Analytics Infrastructure: This is targeted towards devel= oping intelligent data integration and analytics modules, the PhD candidate= will work towards addressing one or more topics of (1) efficient data cura= tion methods (i.e., extract, transform, clean, align and store high-through= put clinical and biomedical datasets); (2) advanced data indexing and metad= ata processing system; (3) scalable & distributed query federation mechanis= m; (4) advanced algorithms to link Life sciences data sets from public and = proprietary repositories; and (5) privacy and policy aware access to sensi= tive clinical resources (e.g., genomic, electronic health records); and (6)= advanced data visualisation tools for intuitive and summarised view of bio= logical resources residing at disparate locations and repositories. Eligibility * Four Years Bachelor's Degree or Master's Degree in Computer Scienc= e/Information Technology/BioInformatics/Medical Informatics * Good knowledge of object-oriented design principles * Strong background in Java programming Bonus Skills * Knowledge of large-scale distributed information systems and feder= ated query processing * Knowledge of Biomedical/Biological/Medical domains * Knowledge of Database Systems * Knowledge of Semantic Web technologies and Linked Data * Knowledge of heterogeneous structured and semi-structured data for= mats e.g RDB, XML and RDF. * Knowledge of designing data visualisation tools e.g. mashups Stipend: PhD scholarship stipend of 18,000 per year, no tax. The duration o= f the contract will be 3 years as a fully funded PhD. Application procedure Job Posting: http://deri.ie/content/phd-positions-data-analytics-ehealth-an= d-life-sciences and http://www.insight-centre.org/content/phd-positions-dat= a-analytics-ehealth-and-life-sciences Informal enquiries about these positions may be made to: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (Dr. Ratnesh Sahay) When applying, please use the same email addresses above and put "PhD Posit= ions in Data Analytics for eHealth and Life Sciences" in the subject line o= f your email. Candidates are requested to submit a cover letter and a CV (= in PDF format). Candidates may also indicate preference for one of the two = (Knowledge Representation & Integration, Data Integration & Analytics Infra= structure) areas in their cover letter. Interviews will be carried over as soon as suitable candidates are identifi= ed, and the position needs to be filled as soon as possible. We expect the = successful candidate to start at the earliest possible date, ideally in Jun= e-August 2014. INSIGHT Centre for Data Analytics (previously DERI http://deri.ie/) http://= www.insight-centre.org/ is a leading research institute in Semantic Web/Lin= ked Data technologies that offers a stimulating, dynamic and multi-cultural= research environment, excellent ties to research-groups worldwide, close c= ollaboration with industrial partners and up-to-date infrastructure and res= ources.
