MASTER STUDENT COMPUTATIONAL GENOMICS (R0)

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 staff from 60 countries.

Context And Mission The Computational Genomics group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center is intensively involved in developing and applying tools for personalized diagnosis, prevention and treatment protocols for health.
This activity takes place within the BSC, which hosts one of the largest supercomputers in Europe.
Marenostrum4, around which we develop HPC-based tools, as well as tools linked to other technologies and architectures, like GPUs and GPFAs.
Among the major scientific achievements, we can highlight the design of the SMuFin software for the fast identification of somatic variants in cancer genomes, and its application for the analysis of chromosomal alterations in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia genomes.
All this activity is carried out within a dynamic and multidisciplinary group that cover biomedical, biological and computer expertise, as well as strong collaborations with different hospitals and other centers.
The successful candidate will join a dynamic research group within the Life Sciences department.
The Researcher will work in a highly sophisticated HPC environment, will have access to systems and computational infrastructures, and will establish collaborations with experts in different areas.
