Opening for a postdoc in my group
We now have an opening for a postdoc position in my group in collaboration with the group of Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann at the EBI. The position is funded for three years by the EIPOD scheme at EMBL.
The proposed work combines methods from image recognition (OSRA, Filippov2009), cheminformatics (CDK ,Steinbeck2003), chemometrics (Gkoutos2003) and text-mining (OSCAR3, Corbett2006, Tiago2009) to extract information relevant to small molecules from the primary literature. The project will deliver methods to discover information about chemical entities linked to their chemical structures and their assigned spectra. The research focus lies on the cross-validation of the extracted information against cheminformatics prediction methods to compensate error propagation and to benchmark prediction methods on published data.
You’ll find a one-page project description on the EIPOD page, together with information on how to apply. If you are interested and have questions, feel free to contact me at steinbeck [at] ebi.ac.uk.
