Duties and Responsibilities
The EnBiSys Lab ( is looking for a postdoctoral
research scholar to work at the intersection of data management, semantic technologies,
and machine learning to design data workflows using knowledge graphs that will enable
the collection, integration, and analysis of heterogeneous data across scales
As part of the STEPS Science and Technology Center ( this
postdoctoral researcher will work with the Convergence Informatics team to explore and
implement advanced techniques for knowledge graph construction, maintenance, and
querying. The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for adapting, enriching, and
integrating new and existing ontologies as well as the development of a graphical user
interface that will serve as a data-retrieval vehicle, connecting STEPS researchers to the
developed knowledge graph and data hub to streamline collaboration and interteam data
integration. These transferable data management tools will be used to better assist
researchers in incorporating their analysis results into existing components and link
researchers with other dataset through machine-learning assisted analyses. Duties and
