[JOB] Postdoc in Machine Learning for Health at MIT
Li-wei H Lehman
Dear All,
My group at MIT has a post-doc position available in Machine Learning for Health starting immediately. Please help forward the following job posting to potential candidates.
Thanks,
Li-wei Lehman
Postdoctoral Associate 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 successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team developing machine learning and statistical methods with strong translational impact in health and medicine. The project offers opportunities to develop and apply novel approaches to generate clinically meaningful insights from observational health data, including clinical time series and physiological signals, with potential extensions to multimodal learning. Annual salary: approximately $73K.
Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning or a related field
- Strong publication record in top-tier machine learning venues
- Expertise in probabilistic machine learning
Preferred Expertise
- Probabilistic machine learning (latent variable models, approximate inference, VAEs, and related deep latent variable models)
- Dynamical systems and state-space models, including probabilistic and deep state-space models, latent state estimation, and switching dynamical systems
- Representation learning from multimodal, time-varying data, with an emphasis on interpretability and latent structure discovery
Application Instructions
Applicants should send a CV to Li-wei Lehman (lile...@mit.edu) ASAP - please specify your current affiliation, expected timeline for starting the position, and list 2–3 representative publications and venues. Applications will be reviewed periodically, and candidates whose background and expertise are a strong fit will be contacted for next steps.
