This specific role will focus on the ELSA health use case, which is coordinated by Oliver Stegle and Nvidia.

Your role

Your primary task is to foster novel innovations in the field of safe and privacy-preserving AI for health. The role will entail the development and implementation of novel algorithmic solutions, ideally in collaboration with partners of the ELSA consortium. In addition to theoretical and computational development, we also foresee the definition of challenges and relevant benchmarks to be a significant component of the role. The role can also entail interactions with EMBL data services, such as the European Genome-Phenome Archive, where novel federated learning solutions can be implemented in praxis. Engagement in additional measures of ELSA, for example to stimulate interactions between the privacy and health communities would be welcomed.
