About BSC
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 1000 staff from 60 countries.

Context And Mission
The NLP for Biomedical Information Analysis of the BSC-CNS (NLP4BIA-BSC) is funded through the Plan de Impulso de las Tecnologías del Lenguaje de la Agenda Digital by the Secretary of State of Telecommunications and the Information as well as several European Horizon projects and Spanish projects. It aims to promote the development of natural language processing and machine translation resources for Spanish and other co-official languages in biomedicine.
NLP4BIA-BSC is looking for a medical expert interested in Language Technologies and AI applications to provide domain expertise for generating semantic annotation resources and high-quality machine-learning datasets.
The candidate will be involved in medical domain-specific work related to international projects, being part of a highly multidisciplinary team of researchers working on topics related to deep learning approaches applied to named entity extraction (NER)/semantic annotation, entity linking and generation of advanced language models. The candidate will have the opportunity to provide domain expertise and input for developing cross-lingual medical NLP systems.
We search for a professional healthcare/medical expert with a deep understanding of the medical/clinical/health-related language and data, interest in medical terminologies and basic knowledge of AI technology to supervise and aid in the construction of corpora and text annotation resources for the current research projects in the NLP4BIA-BSC group within the Life Sciences Department.
