3 Postdoctoral fellow and 2 Sesearch Technician positions at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics – BCAM

We are looking for 3 postdoctoral fellows and 2 research technicians to join the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics. The selected candidates will work on the following projects:
1. IC2020_06_Postdoctoral fellowship_MTB
Biomathematics
2. IC2020_06_Postdoctoral fellowship_AS
In the framework of the BCAM “Maths & Artificial Intelligence” strategy, a series of projects in this field will be launched in different areas of Applied Mathematics. This project is titled “Fair Learning in Health” and deals with the development of mathematical models aimed at detecting and ensuring non-discriminatory and fair decisions based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. Special focus will be placed on health applications. |
3. IC2020_06_Postdoctoral fellowship_COVID_AS
Development of mathematical/statistical methods and computational tools for modelling the transmission dynamics of SARS-Cov-2 with a special focus on the prediction of health care resources. Our proposal rests on the combination of mechanistic models and Bayesian inference for uncertainty quantification and the development of efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers and numerical algorithms for the real-time use of the results. The selected candidate will work with members of the research lines of “Applied Statistics” and “Modelling and Simulation in Life and Material Sciences” of the BCAM.
4. IC2020_06_Research technician_DS_KTU
Statistics (regression methods, time series, survival analysis, multivariate analysis, clustering methods), Machine Learning techniques (e.g.: neural networks, random forests, decision trees, etc.) and optimization (e.g: discrete/stochastic optimization, heuristics, combinatorics).
About BCAM Knowledge Transfer Unit: The aim of BCAM Knowledge Transfer Unit (KTU) is to develop mathematical solutions for scientific challenges based on real-life applications.
One of BCAM’s most important missions is to spread knowledge and technology in the industry and the society in general. It is critical for the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics to transfer the obtained research results to sectors as biosciences, health, energy, advanced manufacturing, telecommunications and transport, including local, national and international entities.

5. IC2020_06_Research technician_AI_Predict-COVID
In the framework of the BCAM “Maths & Artificial Intelligence” strategy, a series of projects in this field will be launched in different areas of Applied Mathematics. This project is titled “Machine learning for COVID-19 predictions” and deals with the development of supervised classification techniques that use electronic health records to predict evolution of COVID-19 infections.
