Would you like to design and lead cutting-edge research using artificial intelligence to improve medical care? Would you like to work at a top-5 public university with a team of world-class, well-funded medical researchers who are committed to revolutionizing critical care medicine?
At the University of Florida’s Intelligent Critical Care Center (IC3), we’re looking for a motivated Deep Learning Researcher (Postdoctoral Associate) with extensive experience in data science and deep learning (DL) as well as proficiency with one of the following: PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Keras. As our Deep Learning Researcher, you’ll lead, develop, and publish research applying data-driven methods for answering clinical questions and improving patient care.
At IC3, you’ll be dealing with healthcare data from a variety of sources, including unstructured electronic health records (EHR) that contain clinical text notes, social determinants of health (SDOH), and physiologic time series data. Your role will include
- data standardization, harmonization, optimization, and integration;
- annotation and adjudication of EHR datasets for clinical outcomes;
- development of processes for capturing high-frequency clinical data;
- enhancement of the functionality of real-time intelligent platform with continuous data streaming and federated learning for model sharing;
- development and validation of machine learning (ML) and DL algorithms and AI tools;
- implementation of interpretable and explainable models;
- implementation and evaluation of federated algorithms in multi-center datasets; and
- preparation of progress reports, manuscripts, and grants.
IC3 focuses on innovative medical AI research, education, and clinical applications that can transform the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of critically ill patients. We are idealists, problem solvers, and explorers of digital health and AI.
