Description

The GMEG is looking for a statistician/mathematician to join a project to build an AI-based algorithm that identifies high-risk PDAC individuals by leveraging advanced AI techniques, such as foundation models. It is intended to integrate large-scale exposome and life-course epidemiological data. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research developing innovative AI-based methods to support early detection of pancreatic cancer.
CNIO is an international cancer research center of excellence with an active and stimulating working environment and a multidisciplinary approach to cancer research.

To do so, we apply innovative methodologies and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to both hypothesis-driven and agnostic/exploratory analyses, integrating multiple levels of information, including omics- and image-derived data. Our ultimate goal is to achieve personalized cancer prevention at three levels: reducing cancer incidence, improving early detection, and increasing life expectancy and quality of life.
