Job Description
Postdoctoral Associate
A Ph.D. in biomedical informatics computer science information science data science (bio)-statistics (applied) mathematics physics or a related STEM fields.
The Division of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science (BIDS) within the Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics (HOBI) at the University of Florida (UF) is seeking a highly motivated and ambitious Postdoctoral Researcher with a strong background in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML). This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment focused on developing innovative AI/ML solutions for healthcare and biomedical research. The successful candidate will join a collaborative research team to contribute to projects at the intersection of AI/ML real-world data and health outcomes. The Postdoctoral Researcher will play a key role in developing and applying cutting-edge methods to analyze large-scale clinical datasets including electronic health records (EHR) medical imaging and unstructured clinical text. The candidate is required to have a Ph.D. in biomedical informatics computer science information science data science (bio)-statistics (applied) mathematics physics or a related STEM field. Prior working experience with EHR data machine learning deep learning imaging informatics and large language models (LLM) is preferred. This position will require collaboration with multiple stakeholders including informatics experts clinicians basic scientists and translational researchers in the department as well as across the University of Florida particular the Postdoctoral Researcher will lead and assist with data modeling AI/ML methods software package development scientific paper writing and grant proposal writing.
More About This Role
Develop methods and tools to use electronic health record (EHR) data effectively; apply AI/ML methods to solve critical clinical and biomedical problems.
Implement methods into software that meets research needs manage and update source codes as needed. Work in an interdisciplinary team of informaticists programmers information quality experts statisticians and researchers during software development.
Lead and participate in the design implementation and reporting of research and evaluation studies. Contributions to scientific reports conference papers journal articles and grant proposals are expected including documentation of methods presentation of data and participation in the interpretation of results.
