Qualifications

Description

We are seeking a post-doctoral scientist with a strong background in computation to lead projects in cardiovascular medicine with a potentially transformative impact on clinical care. Topics of interest to the lab include digital twins modeling cardiovascular hemodynamics inverse problems reinforcement learning for decision support in the intensive care unit and clinical reasoning models. We have a particular interest in critical care medicine where the stakes are highest patient complexity is the greatest and the amount of data far outstrips any clinicians ability to process it.

For analysis we expect the applicant to take advantage of state-of-the-art machine learning tools currently available from deep learning to denoising diffusion scientific machine learning differentiable programming or neurosymbolic artificial intelligence. There is a tremendous and as yet untapped opportunity to extract synergy from data analytics and our practitioners knowledge of clinical medicine. We aim to help the candidate realize this potential to impact patient care.

A candidates experience in the lab could lead in several future directions including academia medical school or the healthcare industry. Past lab members have successfully pursued all of these directions. Our collective experience straddles them all and we expect to provide mentorship in all aspects of career development. The lab is a fun friendly and collaborative environment that values work-life balance. We are part of the Cardiovascular Research Center of MGH and are active members of the greater Boston science community including MIT Harvard and the Broad Institute.
