Position description
The computational medicine lab led by Dr. Pratik Shah at UCI invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar position from outstanding Ph.D, MD or foreign equivalent applicants with strong academic computer science, biomedical informatics or statistics backgrounds.
The lab is interested in developing novel AI-based technology for quantification and real-world validation of clinical decision making. Recent research studies from the lab were published in Cell Reports Methods, Nature Digital Medicine, Cell press, IEEE machine learning conferences, Journal of American Medical Association, and Proceedings of National Academies of Science Engineering and Medicine workshops. Visit our websites for more information about the lab : https : / / faculty.sites.uci.edu / pratikshahlab / ; https : / / www.pratiks.info / publications / all /
Applicants experienced in in solving critical challenges for developing biologically informed statistical methods and uncertainty estimations for training deployable AI models that establish causal relationships in clinical data will be given preference. The scholar will be responsible for training deep generative reinforcement AI models for learning predictive and prescriptive clinical decision-making from time-varying electronic medical records. You will formulate novel statistical methods for uncertainty quantification of patients' outcomes and use unsupervised learning to discover biologically relevant disease subtypes. Determine feature importance for validating predictions and estimations from fully trained deep neural network models for correlative and matrixed molecular sequencing data. Opportunities to publish in leading journals and machine learning conferences, networking with government funding agencies, industry partners, foundations, and leading academic experts. Training in fellowship writing, teaching / mentoring, oral presentations and review of manuscripts will be provided.
