Hammersmith, United Kingdom Imperial College London Full time

Applications are invited for a Research Associate position within a project that strives to develop new methodologies to address the current gaps in our knowledge and lead to establishing a tool that will assess diet-induced non-communicable disease (NCD) risk. The project is funded by EU HORIZON and UKRI and titled "CoDiet: Combating diet related non-communicable disease through enhanced surveillance" and involves 17 partners from 10 countries. Work package (WP) 1 concerns the development of AI driven literature searching tools to bring clear understanding of the large global literature of the physiological and metabolic links between diet and NCD. This WP is lead by academic investigators from Imperial College London (Dr Joram Posma, Dr Marek Rei, Prof Gary Frost) and the University of Leicester (Dr Tim Beck), and involves multiple EU partners.

This position involves developing relation extraction (RE) (between phenotypes, genotypes and other biomedical entities within sentences and table data) and question-answering (QA) (extracting the relevant text based on a research question) algorithms.

**Duties and responsibilities**:
The role will require regular contributions to a variety of normal academic tasks, including management of research projects, positively interacting and communicating with internal and external partners, developing research proposals, supervision of Master and PhD students, and demonstrating research excellence and leadership to more junior members of the Research Group. You will lead on the relation extraction and question-answering aspects, and collaborate with two other postdocs working within WP1 and with CoDiet staff from partners in Spain, Ireland and Greece. You will receive strong mentoring in a stimulating multidisciplinary academic research environment, with access to internationally leading academics, industrial partners, research computing facilities, and networks.

**Essential requirements**:

- Hold a PhD in computer science, biostatistics or a closely related field, or equivalent research, industrial or commercial experience
- Basic understanding of biological and medical terminology
- Productive track record of publishing high-quality papers in peer-reviewed journals, or in conference proceedings
- Well organised, attention to detail, critical thinking, and ability to work as part of a team
