Context And Mission
The Data-Centric Computing group from the Computer Science department at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center is searching for Data Scientist to work on High-Performance Data Analytic (HPDA) platforms and Medical Synthetic Data Generation. Mainly, time series analytics and generative models.
The main objective is to participate in two European research projects. The first is focused on developing methods to predict and estimate the resources requires by HPDA applications to better understand their behaviour and provide information to an orchestrator to manage them. The applications are ran in Big Data and Serverless frameworks such as Apache Spark or Lithops. The methods should use time series information to create an estimation of the resources and also a prediction of them over time. This work is performed in collaboration with Genomic researchers as the applications are focused on genomics analytics. The second is focused on developing models to generate Medical Synthetic Data (Generative AI), data that resembles to the original data provided but it cannot be traced back to the original data. In particular we focus on the development of models to generate synthetic images, but the position might not be limited to that. This work is performed in collaboration of hospitals from the European Union.
Both projects involve collaborating with researchers both from BSC and external and actual use cases. This includes communicating research results in project meetings with the rest of the partners online and presential (might require to travel outside of Spain twice a year).
