OPEN POSITION
Postdoctoral Researcher in Natural Language Processing and statistical
learning for Health

TASKS
The main activity of the recruited researcher will be to propose new
methodologies and an innovative framework for the development of
personalized medicine of low-grade brain tumors based on the latest
advances in natural language processing and statistical learning. The
research work will rely on textual clinical data and publications. The
recruited researcher will also work in collaboration with a recently
recruited PhD student working on the extraction of knowledge graphs
from publications. He/She may reuse the first prototypes to link the
content of clinical reports to this knowledge graph, and thus enrich
the structured data produced.

The precise topic within this framework is open to discussion.

This two-year position will be based at the ATILF, laboratory of
Analysis and Computer Processing of the French Language.  The duration
can not exceed 24 months. The ATILF
(https://www.atilf.fr/laboratoire/presentation-english/) is a research
unit in (computational) linguistics, including expertise in natural
language processing and terminology. Within the framework of
multidisciplinary activities, the recruited researcher will be required
to interact frequently with two other partner laboratories of the
project, the IECL and the CRAN, also located in Nancy, as well as to
