Graduate Research Assistant in Semantic Web at New York

The Bukhari Lab (at CCPS, St. John's University, NYC) is seeking a highly
motivated Research Assistant in Computer Science.Description
Efficient strategies for accessing biomedical contents are crucial for the
timely transfer of correct information from the scientific research
community to peer investigators and interested individuals. Even though
valuable information is embedded in online biomedical contents, it remains
opaque to information retrieval and knowledge extraction search engines. It
is mainly because most biomedical contents are unstructured with minor or
no explicit machine-interpretable semantic (context-aware) markups or
annotations. To overcome the challenges of biomedical information
retrieval, our lab is developing out-of-the-box socio-technical systems.
The successful candidate will research and develop biomedical content
authoring and structured web publishing systems.
Requirements and desirable skills include:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with 2+ years relevant experience; or
Master's/PhD degree with 1+ years relevant experience. MS/Ph.D. candidates
working in the Semantic web and biomedical informatics areas are highly
encouraged to apply.
Expertise in implementing scalable web systems, any previous experience
developing information systems using machine learning and semantic web
technologies is a plus.
An inquiring mind, intense curiosity, interdisciplinary understanding, and
strong desire to innovate in the areas of semantic web and biomedical
informatics
Excellent in scientific writing skills with publications record in semantic
web and biomedical informatics
The position will be for a year and could be extended for another year
based on the candidate's performance. We are open to accepting applications
from non-us candidates. Send your curriculum vitae with bibliography and
GitHub link to Dr. Bukhari at bukharis[@]stjohns.edu
Benefits
Salary is around 25-27K USD per annum and the position is for two years. It
is a full-time position and our university will sponsor a researcher visa
(J1 Scholar) to the selected candidate
