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 Computational Biology group, under the leadership of ICREA Professor Alfonso Valencia, is looking for a senior postdoctoral researcher specialised in multiscale cellular simulations. This role focuses on leveraging high-performance computing to develop advanced biomedical applications.

The selected candidate will develop and apply modelling and simulation techniques to biological networks, forecasting the effects of alterations and drug treatments on system dynamics. In addition, the selected candidate will have a critical role in the design and implementation of multiscale cellular simulations with strong computational requirements. This approach will enable the modelling and simulation of complex systems representing relevant use cases in molecular biology and personalised medicine, such as tumour evolution or viral infections. In addition, the candidate will work on the integration of cellular systems with organ-level simulations, thus contributing to the creation of digital twins in the biomedical area.

The successful candidate will join a highly dynamic and multidisciplinary research group within the Life Sciences department, which integrates independent senior scientists who work on various aspects of computational biology, ranging from genomics and proteomics to computational biochemistry and text mining. The Researcher will work in a highly sophisticated HPC environment, having access to systems and computational infrastructures that foster collaborations with experts in different areas. The candidate will work closely with other senior researchers in the Computational Biology Group (http://life.bsc.es/compbio) of the Life Sciences Department. Also, the selected candidate will interact with other departments at the BSC, especially Computer Science (with the Workflows and Distributed Computing group and Performance Tools group) and Operations Department (with the High-Level Support Team), as well as external collaborators.
