.I2cat Foundation is looking for a Researcher to join our Artificial Intelligence area.The successful candidate will work within the Disitrbuted Data Architectures team on projects related to Data Spaces, a set of reference architectures and standards that define decentralized architectures to securely share datasets between different organizations. Examples of topics that the team currently works on include:Implementation of Data Space solutions with a wide variety of partners from the public and private sectors from the mobility, industry and health sectors.Integration of big data and stream processing techniques to improve existing Data Space solutions in processing large and / or real-time datasets that are currently not supported.Integration of data usage policy definition and enforcement tools into Data Space solutions. This will allow our solutions to offer automatic enforecement of data usage policies defined by data providers and guarantee that consumers adher to these policies.Integration of data protection and Privacy-Enhacing Technologies (PETs) into data spaces. Examples of these technologies include data anonymization, data encryption, differential privacy, etc. The technologies will provide another layer of protection by allowing data providers to process their datasets before sharing them.Participate in the definition of reference architectures and standards at the European level. This will allow us to increase the visibility of the team at the European level and influence the direction of Data Space standards based on our experience.Candidates are not expected to take part in all of these activities. Based on the profile of the successfull candidate and their interests, they will be integrated into the team and start working on one of the mentioned topics.Responsabilities of the successful candidate:Participate in the design of innovative data sharing solutions based on state-of-the-art reference architectures and toolsIndepdently develop R&D solutions using a variety of tools and programming languages (Java, Python, Kafka, Spark)Analyze and relay technical requirements and results of the developed R&D solutions to the team lead and other team membersParticipate in the writing and editing of deliverables associated with the projectsParticipate in the writing of new R&D funding proposalsWho we are:The i2CAT Foundation is a non-profit research and innovation center that promotes mission-driven R&D activities on advanced Internet architectures, applications, and services.
