We are a new research group working on Machine Learning for Structural Biology.
Our research focuses on the development of Machine Learning algorithms for elucidating the relationship between the sequence, structure, function, and evolution of proteins. We then apply these tools to identify functional sites in proteins, assess the impact of mutations on function and design new proteins.

Full Time Position Available
The Center for the Study of Movement, Cognition and Mobility (CMCM) in the Neurological Institute at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (“Ichilov”) is looking to hire a research engineer or computer scientist.
The candidate will be responsible for developing and applying signal processing and machine learning methods to metrics based on physiological signals and wearable devices such as acceleration, gyroscope, EEG, fNIRS, and imaging data. Using wearable devices, the CMCM aims to better quantify gait, balance, movement, cognition, and related physiological properties in healthy adults and in disease populations (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, stroke, fallers), to enhance diagnostic accuracy, and to improve the sensitivity and specificity of monitoring disease progression.
The person will also help support new and ongoing cutting-edge lab projects, provide assistance and guidance to students, and be encouraged to propose new research ideas, write peer-reviewed papers, and present his or her work at national and international conferences.
Requirements:
MSc or PhD in engineering, computer science, or a closely related field.
Programming experience in Matlab and/or Python.
Working knowledge of signal processing and time-series analyses is helpful.
Preference to someone who is research-oriented and excited to take on new and diverse challenges.
Good communication skills in English and Hebrew.
Knowledge of biomedical statistics is also helpful.
Willingness to commit to this position for at least 2 years.

We are looking for a part-time research assistant to work on a series of projects involving natural language processing.
Task: The task involves text analysis/natural language processing of a corpus of texts, preferably using Python. The overall goal is to produce a rich description of the texts to get insights from the data. While some tasks are relatively standard, some of them involve creative ways of describing the data.
Qualifications: Master’s or bachelor’s students in economics or computer science. Proficiency in Python and previous experience with natural language processing/text analysis is required. Command of Stata is recommended but not required. Basic knowledge of Spanish is recommended.
Compensation: Competitive, according to qualifications.
The successful candidate will report directly to Pablo Balan and Juan Pedro Ronconi.
Please send a one-page letter of interest, sample code doing text analysis, and a CV to pbalan@tauex.tau.ac.il and juan_pedro_ronoconi@brown.edu with the subject "Research Assistant".
An ERC funded research project applying computational methods in developmental psychology research.
The study conducted in the School of Education will include development and adaptation of applications to identify value messages and value transmission strategies in mother-child interaction and in social media influencer interactions with children and adolescents. Research can include NLP, speech and interaction analysis, and video analysis.
We are looking for a data scientist interested in working in a multidisciplinary team, leading the integration of computer and social science research.
Graduates of Psychology, Education, Communication or Data Science are welcome to apply. Those combining skills across disciplines are especially encouraged.
Research funded by TAD and Google to develop an early warning system for changes in water quality due to floods and extreme climate events. In this study, we will apply ML and AI techniques to nowcast significant and dangerous changes in water quality.
The research will include multi-source data integration, such as real-time and in-situ water quality parameters and Google’s early warning flood system outputs that can be used to predict the impact of floods on users’ water quality.
Knowladge in AI, big data, and/or water quality are a plus.
