We have two open positions (start ASAP) here at my group at BSC:

Data science and AI expert on NLP

- Position 1: https://www.bsc.es/join-us/job-opportunities/67024lsnlpre2 https://lnkd.in/dtBKEN9P - Position 2: https://www.bsc.es/join-us/job-opportunities/66924lsnlpre2 https://lnkd.in/dYBDVTqP

*Context And Mission:*

The Natural Language Processing for Biomedical Information Analysis (NLP4BIA) group at BSC is an internationally renowned research group working on the development of NLP, language technology, and text mining solutions applied primarily to biomedical and clinical data. It is a highly interdisciplinary team, funded through competitive European and National projects requiring the implementation of natural language processing and advanced AI solutions making use of diverse technologies, including Transformers and recent advances in Large Language Models (LLM) to improve healthcare data analysis.

The NLP4BIA-BSC is looking for a Research Engineer with experience in Language Technologies and Deep Learning. The candidate will be involved in technical work related to international projects, being part of a team of researchers working on topics related to clinical Language Models, multilingual NLP, benchmarking of language technology solutions and predictive content mining. The candidate will have the opportunity to advance the state of the art of biomedical language models and NLP methods working in a multidisciplinary environment alongside AI experts, computational linguists, clinical experts, and other engineers.

*DUTIES*:

- Predictive NLP model development: Development of advance content mining predictive solutions including clinical NLP, automatic text classification - Pre-training of medical language models for healthcare application scenarios and tasks. - Technical project coordination: Coordinate technical contributions inside the team and with clinical hospital site project collaborators. - Implementation and deployment of clinical NLP solutions: Collaborate in the implementation and technical deployment of NLP platform prototypes at clinical sites. - Documentation and Reporting: Contribute to technical reports and project documentation

*REQUIREMENTS*

*Education*: University degree in Computer Science, Computational Linguistic, or engineering discipline. Candidates with a minimum of a master's degree will be considered.

*Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience:*

- Demonstrated experience in Natural Language Processing technologies - Experience in developing and training models using transformer architectures. - Practical experience with deep learning libraries (e.g. Pytorch, TensorFlow, Spacy, Transformers…) - Knowledge of deep learning methods for pre-training large language models using transformer architectures (like BERT, RoBERTA, DeBERTA, GPT, Bloom) as well as learning to implement LLMs. - Advanced programming skills in Python. - Experience in software development resources (Git)
