One-year Postdoctoral Position in Machine Learning (possible extension) Postdoc / R2: PhD holders RESEARCH FIELD(S)1: Computer science; Medical scienceMAIN SUB RESEARCH FIELD OR DISCIPLINES1: Machine Learning This position is based at the research unit SESSTIM (Health Economic and Social Sciences and Medical Information Processing) at the Timone Faculty of Medical and Paramedical Sciences, Marseille, France. SESSTIM works to produce excellent, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research in social sciences and public health that can lead to changes in the various fields of predictive, personalised, pre-emptive and participatory medicine. The candidate will work in the multidisciplinary “Quantitative Methods and Medical Information Processing (QuanTIM)” team, comprising researchers in epidemiology and public health, statisticians, biostatisticians, computer scientists and data scientists. More specifically, he/she will be assigned to a project involving the application and…… development of Artificial Intelligence techniques to data from cancer registries. The aim of the work will be to develop or adapt a machine learning methodology in order to estimate excess mortality in the case of insufficiently stratified general population life tables. Activities: As part of the MIRACLE project (Méthodologie et Intelligence aRtificielle pour lA recherche épidémiologique en CancéroLogiE sur bases de données), funded by the French Ligue contre le Cancer, the candidate will contribute to the valorisation of cancer databases, particularly the population-based ones. In this context, a key indicator is net survival that represents the survival that would be observed in a hypothetical world where people died only from the studied disease. The candidate will familiarise him/herself with the various approaches and models already developed, and will then investigate the contribution of approaches based on machine learning. He/she will develop or adapt a methodology based on machine learning (k-means, random forests or others) to estimate excess mortality in the case of insufficiently stratified general population life tables. The candidate will assess the performances of these different methods through simulation studies. He/she will implement the whole in an R package, preferably, or in Python. Together with the other project investigators, he/she will write the article(s) on this work with a view to publication in international peer-reviewed journals (methodological and/or applied journals). TYPE OF CONTRACT: International Exposure: The researcher will have the chance to present their work at international congresses It also provides sports courses, cultural activities, social support, and counselling services.
