[Jobs] Postdoc in ML for Health at MIT
Li Lehman
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
My research team at MIT is seeking Postdoctoral Associates in Machine Learning for Health, with positions available starting Fall 2025. Please share this opportunity with potential candidates.
Thanks,
Li-wei Lehman
Postdoctoral Position in Machine Learning for Health
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Institute for Medical Engineering & Science (IMES) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Associate position in Machine Learning for Health. This is an immediate opening for a highly motivated researcher interested in developing machine learning methods for latent representation learning and generative modeling from complex, multimodal, time-varying clinical data, with the goal of supporting sequential treatment decision-making and generating actionable insights.
The project offers opportunities to develop and apply novel machine learning and statistical approaches to generate clinically meaningful insights from observational health data. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team working at the interface of computational methods and clinical medicine to develop approaches with high translational value that inform patient care and treatment decisions.
Qualifications: Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field, strong publication record in top-tier machine learning and AI venues, and demonstrated ability to conduct independent, high-quality research.
Preferred expertise:
Probabilistic and generative modeling (e.g., latent variable models, deep generative models)
Sequential and dynamical modeling (e.g., deep dynamical systems, state-space models, and methods for sequential decision-making)
Representation learning (interpretability, structure discovery from time-varying data)
Application: Applicants should send a CV and a short description of research interests to Li-wei Lehman, lile...@mit.edu. Applications will be reviewed periodically, and candidates whose background and expertise are a strong fit for the position will be contacted for next steps.
