    About BSC
  • The Barcelona Supercomputing Center
  • Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, and is a hosting member of the PRACE European distributed supercomputing infrastructure. 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 770 staff from 55 countries.
  • Look at the BSC experience:
  • BSC-CNS YouTube Channel
  • Let's stay connected with BSC Folks
  • 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.
    Context And Mission
  • ELIXIR (European Life Science Infrastructure for Biological Information) is a panEuropean organization founded in 2014 which aims to integrate and harmonize European bioinformatics infrastructures. ELIXIR coordinates the participation of more than 22 countries; engages with other strategic European initiatives and projects, e.g. ESFRI, Research Data Alliance, EUDat and EGI; promotes specific training activities and workshops on ELIXIR resources, partners with industry, and play a key role in shaping the bioinformatics landscape. Spain has been a member of ELIXIR since 2015, with the INB as the Spanish national node. Within ELIXIR, the INB is responsible for the bioinformatics infrastructure offered by Spain and, therefore, should guarantee its alignment with the strategic areas put forward by ELIXIR.
  • Since 2018, the INB has two overarching objectives: deepen the alignment of its activities with ELIXIR, and increase the translational impact of INB actions towards the Spanish National Health System (SNS). For the latter objective, the INB has created and supports TransBioNet (Translational Bioinformatics Network), which aims to structure, bring together and work with bioinformatics groups in healthcare settings with a particular focus on the Health Research Institutes (IIS) recognized by the ISCIII.
  • The INB coordinates the Data Science programme within the Spanish Infrastructure for Personalized Medicine associated with Science and Technology (IMPaCT in Spanish), which aims to establish an interoperable framework for biomedical data integration and analysis, addressing questions from clinicians through the implementation of computing systems in health environments. This programme will prepare clinical data in Spain for secondary use, including medical imaging, structured and nonstructured clinical data and genomics, considering all the legal provisions for each possible use and setting. This programme will involve the liaison with diverse stakeholders, including hospitals, the ISCIII, companies in the biomedical sector, the Spanish Medicines Agency and biomedical researchers, among others. All developments will be aligned with the European initiatives in the area, including those from ELIXIR, 1+Million Genomes, the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health and datasharing projects such as FAIR4Health, HealthyCloud and TEHDAS.
    Key Duties
  • Contribute to ongoing projects in the INB/ELIXIR-ES units, including two flagship projects like the European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) and the EUropean federation for CAncer IMages (EUCAIM).
  • Manage and support users of the INB resources, including computational equipment, databases, and software infrastructure.
  • Develop tools and scripts for data integration.
  • Explore development solutions for sharing sensitive data.

Requirements:


  • Education
  • Software Engineer Degree or equivalent Bioinformatics related degrees.
  • Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience
  • At least 2 years of professional experience with a similar role.
  • Experience in cloud deployments.
  • Experience with advanced software packaging procedures.
  • Experience in software quality management.
  • Experience working with Unix/Linux systems.
  • Additional Knowledge and Professional Experience
  • Experience developing, generating and using software containers, e.g. Docker and Singularity.
  • Experience in developing project technical specifications.
  • Fluency in English written and spoken.
  • At least basic knowledge of Spanish.
