Offer Description
Positions and project
The Biomedical Signal Interpretation and Computational Simulation (BSICoS) group at the University of Zaragoza (Spain) seeks 1 Predoctoral Researcher to work on the optimization of non-invasive and early sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk stratification, clinical diagnosis and disease prognosis via the integrative use of artificial intelligence (AI), signal processing, statistical genetics, bioinformatics and electrophysiological knowledge.
The position is part of project SUDDEN (CNS2023-143599) from the Spanish National Call ‘Proyectos Consolidación Investigadora 2023’, led by Dr Julia Ramírez, funded by the Spanish Research, Innovation and Universities Ministry.
SUDDEN aims at identifying electrocardiogram (ECG) and genetic markers of SCD risk in individuals without known cardiovascular disease and to investigate their mechanisms and their association with SCD risk in different populations through a combination of data analysis, statistical genetics and AI. We have access to different databases such as UK Biobank with ~500,000 participants, as well as clinical databases.
The candidate will be involved in 1) identifying genetic variants associated with AI-based ECG indices of SCD risk and 2) investigating their clinical utility in the early prediction of SCD risk. As part of SUDDEN, the candidate will be involved in an international collaboration with Prof Patricia Munroe’s team, Queen Mary University of London, London, United Kingdom.
Qualifications
The candidate must hold a BSc or MSc in Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics or Bioinformatics and an interest in developing expertise in programming, statistical genetics and bioinformatics. Strong oral and written communication skills in English are desirable.
