Biomedical Data Scientist for Machine Learning and Sleep Research

1 month ago


Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus Universitet (AU) Full time

We are seeking a highly skilled Biomedical Data Scientist to join our team at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Aarhus University. As a Postdoc in machine learning for biomedical time series and sleep, you will play a key role in developing new methods for unsupervised learning in sleep scoring.

The successful candidate will be part of an ongoing project on updating how sleep is monitored clinically. This is a time series classification problem with large societal value, and a particularly interesting open problem is how to implement semi- or unsupervised approaches, since data is cheap and labels are not.

We recently found a very promising approach to this problem, and believe that even within the relatively short duration of this position, good results can be achieved with many possible follow-up questions and impactful publications. Your main tasks will include familiarizing yourself with our existing work on this problem, collaborating with Associate Professor Kaare Mikkelsen to draw up a prioritized list of likely improvements to the existing method, implementing the improvements, characterizing the performance of the new version of the method, and preparing a manuscript about the method for publication in a suitable journal.

Requirements
  • A PhD degree in a technical field (engineering, physics, computer science or similar)
  • Experience with machine learning and Python
  • Familiarity with Pytorch framework or neural networks in general (a great advantage)
  • Good communication skills in English or Danish

You should have experience with sleep research or biomedical data (though not a requisite), as well as experience with transfer learning, supervised or otherwise (advantageous, though not required). The candidate should also be able to work independently.

About the Position

This is a 1-year postdoctoral position from December 1st, 2024 or as soon as possible. The place of work is Finlandsgade 22, 8200, Aarhus N, Denmark, and the area of employment is Aarhus University with related departments.

What We Offer
  • A well-developed research infrastructure, laboratories, and access to shared equipment
  • An interdisciplinary environment with national, international, and industrial collaborators
  • A research climate encouraging lively, open, and critical discussion within and across different fields of research
  • A workplace characterized by professionalism, equality, and a healthy work-life balance

Salary range: approximately 42,400 - 63,800 EUR per year, depending on seniority. We view equality and diversity as assets, and we welcome all applicants. Aarhus University offers a broad variety of services for international researchers and accompanying families, including relocation service and career counselling to expat partners.
