  • Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python, familiarity with scikit-learn is good, experience in C++ is a plus
  • Documented Productivity: Record of peer-reviewed publications
  • Interdisciplinary Interest: Candidates should have a passion for applying computational techniques to solve complex problems across disciplines.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Mathematical Foundations: Work on the rigorous mathematical foundations of emerging digital twin frameworks, and the theoretical aspects of ML. Example papers: ,
  • Research & Algorithm Development: Develop advanced algorithms to predict complex health trajectories, simulating individual patient journeys, and providing real-time dynamic views of patient health. This involves working with multimodal datasets, including EHRs, genetic data, and social determinants of health.
  • Collaborative Research: Engage with a diverse group of researchers in fields such as computational biology, medicine, and social sciences. Publish findings in top-tier journals, present at conferences, and contribute to the advancement of the field.

Compensation and Benefits:

  • Competitive Salary: Funding is available for a competitive salary, based on qualifications and experience.
  • Research Support: Additional funding will be provided for supplies and travel to conferences.
