Applicants experienced in in solving critical challenges for developing biologically informed statistical methods and uncertainty estimations for training deployable AI models that establish causal relationships in clinical data will be given preference.

The scholar will be responsible for training deep generative reinforcement AI models for learning predictive and prescriptive clinical decision-making from time-varying electronic medical records.

You will formulate novel statistical methods for uncertainty quantification of patients' outcomes and use unsupervised learning to discover biologically relevant disease subtypes.

Determine feature importance for validating predictions and estimations from fully trained deep neural network models for correlative and matrixed molecular sequencing data.

Opportunities to publish in leading journals and machine learning conferences, networking with government funding agencies, industry partners, foundations, and leading academic experts.

Training in fellowship writing, teaching / mentoring, oral presentations and review of manuscripts will be provided.
