The Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) is a national research infrastructure of the ETH domain in data science and artificial intelligence (AI), with EPFL and ETH Zurich as founding partners. Its mandate is to support academic labs, hospitals, industry and public sector stakeholders, including cantonal and federal administrations, through their entire data science journey, from the collection and management of data to machine learning, AI, and industrialization. With a large multidisciplinary team of professionals across three locations (Lausanne, Zurich, Villigen), the SDSC provides expertise and services across domains such as health and biomedical sciences, energy and sustainability, climate and environment, and large-scale scientific infrastructure.
The candidate will be integrated into a dynamic and rich environment, with people from different fields and expertise, and will be part of SDSC's Research team. The Research team at SDSC comprises more than 35 data scientists, seeking to apply novel AI/ML methods to solve real-world problems in the academic and public sectors. See https://datascience.ch/projects for an idea of some of our academic research collaborations.
As a Data Scientist working in the Research team of the Swiss Data Science Center, you will help researchers and other collaborators in academia or the public sector in Switzerland to leverage state-of-the-art Machine Learning and AI methods. These collaborators encompass various fields and carry out projects involving diverse data (tabular, textual, visual, potentially multi-modal), notably in health and biomedical sciences, climate and environment, energy and sustainability, and social sciences.
This typically involves exchanging actively with collaborators and domain experts to understand the precise desiderata of the project, determining which approaches, formulations, and models are most effective to achieve the desired goals, implementing the corresponding algorithms, performing the evaluation hand-in-hand with collaborators, and releasing open-source code and writing research papers when appropriate.
