The Biomedical Network Science Lab (BIONETS Lab, ) at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU, ) and the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the University Hospital Erlangen (UKER, ) offer 2 postdoctoral or doctoral researcher positions at the intersection of graph-based machine learning, precision oncology, and federated learning.
Ihre Aufgaben
Position information
Using real-world data from actual patients (>50 million laboratory test results from >500,000 patients), you will design, implement, and validate (graph-based) machine learning models for diagnosis and prognosis in pediatric oncology. Moreover, you will develop federated counterparts of the machine learning models to enable privacy-preserving model training on decentrally available data. You will work on a highly interdisciplinary project and will continuously collaborate with bioinformaticians, clinical oncologists, and industrial software developers.
Research environment
The BIONETS Lab is part of the new Department Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering at FAU (AIBE, ), which was established as a cornerstone of the health node of the Bavarian High-Tech Agenda. Research at the BIONETS Lab focuses on the development of algorithms and ML models for systems biology, while UKER’s Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine has strong expertise in the large-scale quantitative analysis of multi-centre laboratory test result data in pediatric oncology (e.g., the PEDREF study, ).
