PhD Positions in Data Analytics for eHealth and Life Sciences

Academic, clinical and industrial communities often have difficulties on sy=
stematically analysing large volumes, heterogeneous and complex nature of c=
linical and biomedical datasets, and fully extract valuable information. 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.
