About BSC

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D; into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 1000 staff from 60 countries. Look at the BSC experience: (BSC-CNS YouTube Channel)(#) (Let's stay connected with BSC Folks)(#) We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research. In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favoured. We promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, fostering an environment where each and every one of us is appreciated for who we are, regardless of our differences. If you consider that you do not meet all the requirements, we encourage you to continue applying for the job offer. We value diversity of experiences and skills, and you could bring unique perspectives to our team.

Context And Mission

The Computer Sciences (CS)



department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center aims at carrying out research and development to influence the way computing machines are built, programmed, and used. The Workflows and Distributed Computing group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center aims at carrying out research on programming models for distributed computing. We are looking for a biomedical signal processing engineer. student to develop algorithms for ECG data from wearable devices and from images. The candidate will build methods to assess and improve signal quality: detecting noise, motion artifacts, baseline wander, electrode contact problems, and recordings that can't be used. He/she will also build pipelines that digitize paper or photographed ECGs into time-series signals. This covers image preprocessing, perspective correction, grid and lead detection, and waveform extraction. The work combines classical DSP with deep learning and is validated against clinical-grade reference data. The role will involve close collaboration with the Machine Learning for Biomedical Research Unit, within the Life Sciences Department that is developing the AI models for stroke prevention assessment. The candidate will work in a highly advanced High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment,



benefiting from access to state-of-the-art computational systems and infrastructures.
