The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses Mare Nostrum, 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 Euro HPC 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.

We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research. In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favoured.

We promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, fostering an environment where each and every one of us is appreciated for who we are, regardless of our differences.

If you consider that you do not meet all the requirements, we encourage you to continue applying for the job offer. We value diversity of experiences and skills, and you could bring unique perspectives to our team.

The Genome Informatics unit http://life.bsc.es/genoinfo, led by Miguel Vázquez, is looking for a junior technician to work in the field of bioinformatics for genomics. The project will involve implementing genomic analysis pipelines and running them using a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster, such as Mare Nostrum 5, over genomic data coming from collaborators in a research project.

The successful candidate will join a small team that works in close collaboration with groups within the Life Sciences department, led by ICREA professor Alfonso Valencia; offering them assistance in their work on different aspects of computational biology, ranging from bioinformatics for genomics and proteomics to computational biochemistry and text mining. Additionally, the team contributes the several national and international research projects in different areas in intersection between biomedicine, HPC, and AI, with a strong component of genomics. 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.
