integrating text analysis into protein function prediction and
surveillance of fungal infections in the hospital setting. The

biomedical partners---in developing new techniques in Text and Data
Mining of value to biomedical and genomic researchers.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in Computer Science,

strong publications. Good programming skills and expertise in
biological data analysis, machine learning, data mining, or
probabilistic techniques is essential. Text mining expertise is highly
desirable. Good communication and teamwork skills are also essential;
previous experience in biomedical or molecular biology applications
and a demonstrated history of innovation are highly desirable.
Demonstrated experience in developing research agendas and supervising
