[SocBiN] Post-doctoral position at Northwell Health - Design, develop and implement biomedical big data and machine intelligence-driven intensive care unit

[Shameer K]

Hi,


A new post-doctoral position is available for candidates with experience in
the application of machine intelligence methods to large-scale healthcare
datasets. The candidate will be co-mentored by Dr. Negin Hajizadeh (Center
for Health Innovations and Outcomes Research (CHIOR))
<https://www.feinsteininstitute.org/programs-researchers/center-for-health-innovations-and-outcomes-research/>,
Northwell Health and Department of Medicine Division of Pulmonary Critical
Care and Sleep Medicine
<https://www.northwell.edu/find-care/services-we-offer/department-of-medicine/research/our-researchers/negin-hajizadeh-md-mph>,
Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine and Northwell Health) and Dr. Shameer
Khader (Centre for Research Informatics and Innovation
<https://www.feinsteininstitute.org/programs-researchers/research-informatics-innovation/>,
Northwell Health, New Hyde Park, NY). The incoming fellow would work on the
design, development, and implementation of data and intelligence-driven
connected ICU that could improve outcomes for acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS). ARDS is a life-threatening form of respiratory failure
that affects approximately 200,000 patients and resulting in nearly 75,000
deaths each year in the United States. The candidate should be able to
analyze data resulting from data-intensive medicine and have a Ph.D., M.D.,
or equivalent doctoral degree in computer science, bioinformatics,
statistics or engineering. The candidate is expected to gain
cross-disciplinary training in healthcare, clinical informatics, critical
care informatics, computational medicine, bioinformatics and health data
science.

*Requirements:*

We are encouraging applicants with Ph.D. in computer science, biomedical
informatics, engineering, biostatistics, or related disciplines to apply
for the position. MD or MD-PhD candidates with informatics experience and
quantitative skills may also apply. Applicants may have experience in one
or more areas including biomedical informatics, bioinformatics, computer
vision, robotics, machine learning, deep learning, scalable computing and
pervasive computing. Experience in scientific computing using Python
(pandas, scipy, numpy etc.), database technologies (SQL, NoSQL, and
time-series database) modern machine intelligence software packages (Tensor
Flow, Theano, Open CV etc.), and statistical computing using R are
desirable.

*How to apply:*

If you are interested, email your curriculum vitae, links to your
technology portfolio (github, bitbucket etc.) a brief statement of your
research interests, and the names of two or three references.

Please email your application to nhajizadeh at northwell.edu;
