RESEARCH POSITIONS
Artificial Intelligence Laboratory:
Research field: AI, medicine
Type of work: researcher
About: The use of artificial intelligence approaches in the field of medicine is one of the primary research directions of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. We focus mainly on chronic diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, psychiatric diseases, etc. For these diseases, early detection and effective monitoring and (self-)control of the disease is very important. In the real world, specialists often do not have the opportunity to regularly monitor the patient to the desired or necessary extent, which can lead to faster disease progression. The use of modern ICT (which also includes the use of various sensors) in conjunction with artificial intelligence can be of great help for screening, early detection, objective monitoring, and control of the disease. This in turn means reduced treatment costs and a better quality of life for patients. When implementing artificial intelligence methods, the technical side is not the only important aspect; it is also necessary to ensure that users (doctors, patients) will trust in the solution both from the technical perspective and from the privacy protection and ethics point of view. In this regard, the emphasis will be on the trustworthy AI paradigm as well as on explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods. We cooperate with a number of national and foreign research organisations (UKC Ljubljana, Belgium: KU Leuven, Australia: UNSW, Germany: Charité Berlin, Netherlands: Radboud UMC, Italy: Politecnico di Torino, Universita di Pavia, Spain: Universidad de Cádiz, INIBICA, Sweden: Örebro University, etc.), which will enable the candidate international cooperation. The candidate is expected to have excellent knowledge of English language, knowledge of machine learning methods, knowledge of software development, the ability to independently organise work and high level of motivation and consistency.

Contact: Danijel Skočaj (danijel.skocaj@fri.uni-lj.si)
Laboratory for Adaptive Systems and Parallel Processing
Research field: High-Performance Computing, Parallel programming, CPU Architecture, Hardware-software co-desig
Type of work: researcher, teaching assistant, doctoral student
Duration of employment: Q4 2022 - Q3 2025
Additional information: Large scientific projects, such as the high-energy physics experiments at the Large Hadron Collider or Cherenkov Telescope Array and other astrophysical observatories, rely on unprecedented measurements, allowing for discoveries in physics. Most simulation and data-analysis tools traditionally exploit trivial parallelism. However, the evolution of computing architectures with fast GPU and FPGA accelerators and advances in CPU architecture dictates a different approach to algorithm design of the core software, focusing on specific elements at a fine-level granularity. More in the attachment.
