[SocBiN] Postdoc position on biomedical text mining at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research

[Lars Juhl Jensen]

A postdoc position is available jointly between the Cellular Network
Biology (Lars Juhl Jensen) and the Translational Disease Systems Biology
(Søren Brunak) groups at The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein
Research (CPR – https://www.cpr.ku.dk). The Disease Systems Biology program
consists of three research groups covering many systems level aspects of
biology and medicine, including the integration of molecular-level data and
healthcare data, including biomedical texts.

To address the challenging task of extracting information on lifestyle from
text, we have developed a prototype lifestyle-factor ontology. You will
train state-of-the-art deep learning-based language models to identify
lifestyle descriptors, such as diet, from one of the large biomedical text
collections comprising millions of full-text articles. Subsequently you
will use it in combination with existing pretrained models and vocabularies
to resolve cases of ambiguity, extract associations between diseases and
lifestyle factors, and construct an open publicly available knowledge graph
from the results.

In collaboration with other members of the groups, you will also use
cross-lingual representation learning to identify lifestyle factors in text
from Danish electronic health records. Furthermore, you will use the
literature-based knowledge graph to interpret patient-level data on the
progression from healthy to sick from electronic health records and
registry data.

Projected start date: Second quarter of 2021
Application deadline: March 15th, 2021.
