[Job] Postdoc in Machine Learning for Health at MIT

[Li-wei Lehman]

Dear Colleagues,

My group at MIT has an opening in a postdoctoral position in Machine Learning for Health. Please forward the announcement below to any candidates who may be interested. Thank you.

MIT 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 talented researcher interested in developing machine learning methods for latent representation learning from complex, multimodal, time-varying clinical data, with the goal of informing sequential treatment decision-making and generating actionable insights with high potential impact in clinical medicine.

The project offers opportunities to develop and apply novel machine learning and statistical approaches to generate clinically meaningful insights from observational health data, including clinical time series and physiological signals, with extensions to multimodal learning. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team to develop approaches with high translational impact in health and medicine.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field
• Strong publication record in top-tier Machine Learning or ML for health venues.
• Expertise in probabilistic machine learning and latent variable models

Topics & Preferred Expertise

• Probabilistic machine learning (e.g., latent variable models and variational inference).
• Dynamical systems and state-space models (probabilistic and deep state-space models, latent state estimation, switching state-space models).
• Representation learning from multi-modal time-varying data  (interpretability, latent structure discovery from time-varying data).

Application

Applicants should send a CV to Li-wei Lehman (lile...@mit.edu) asap. In the email, please state your current affiliation, expected timeline for starting the position, your research interests, and a selected listing of 2-3 of your most representative papers and the venues they are published in. Applications will be reviewed periodically, and candidates whose background and expertise are a strong fit for the position will be contacted for next steps.
