Summary
Weil Institute Postdoctoral Data Scientist Role Description
The Weil Institute is in search of a Postdoctoral Fellow to develop predictive analytics that will help improve the treatment of cardiac arrest patients in critical care areas such as intensive care units, emergency department and general hospital wards.
We use rich, large datasets from a variety of sources including electronic health records (EHR), waveforms from bedside monitors, radiology images and wearable sensors.
This position offers a unique opportunity to work closely with clinicians on applications of machine learning, signal processing and image processing in medicine with an extensive level of access to large clinical datasets.
Research in the Weil Institute focuses on the development, validation and maintenance of clinical decision support systems and multimodal analytic platforms to translate advanced data science solutions into critical care.
The main focus of this position is on the analysis of the signals that are generated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), including traditional patient monitors and a novel wearable sensor, to develop a tool to guide resuscitation strategies during cardiac arrest.
As such, the ideal candidate should have experience in biomedical signal processing with prior publications on the subject.
This role requires active collaboration with our Data Science team as well as with other clinical collaborators within Michigan Medicine and in other institutions.
The collaborations will include requirements gathering and regular interactions with other teams.
Hence, strong communication skills are highly desired.
In addition to working on the development and validation of decision support systems, this role can evolve into leading data science projects and the design and development of new projects for other critical illnesses including trauma, neurologic emergencies, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome and heart failure.
This is a 2-year position with an option to extend based on performance evaluation and funding, reporting to the Weil Institute Director of Data Science and Project Principal Investigator.
