We at the Mass General Brigham NeuroAI Center are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow with expertise in machine learning (ML) and biomedical data analysis to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of neuroscience, critical care, and computational modeling. This position will focus on developing advanced AI/ML models for prediction and outcome assessment in acute neurological conditions, leveraging EEG, EHR, telemetry, and neuroimaging data.
Key Responsibilities:
• Develop and validate multimodal AI/ML models integrating diverse clinical and physiological data.
• Design and implement time-series prediction frameworks utilizing transformer-based architectures, ensemble learning, and deep learning techniques.
• Manage large-scale electronic health record (EHR), EEG, and telemetry datasets, ensuring robust preprocessing, feature extraction, and handling of missing data.
• Apply explainable AI (XAI) techniques such as SHAP and attention mechanisms to enhance model interpretability.
• Implement validation strategies, including nested cross-validation, conformal prediction for uncertainty quantification, and adversarial training for model robustness.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, data scientists, and engineers to refine models for real-world deployment.
• Contribute to manuscript preparation, grant writing, and dissemination of research findings at leading conferences and journals.
Qualifications:
• Ph.D. in computer science, biomedical engineering, computational neuroscience, applied mathematics, or a related field.
• Strong expertise in machine learning, deep learning, and statistical modeling with applications in biomedical data.
• Experience with time-series analysis, transformers, LSTMs, and other temporal modeling techniques.
• Proficiency in Python, PyTorch, and ML frameworks; experience with EHR data processing and feature engineering is a plus.
• Familiarity with neurophysiological data (EEG, telemetry) and neuroimaging analysis is highly desirable.
• Strong publication record in AI/ML applications for healthcare or neuroscience.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, ability to work independently, and strong collaborative mindset.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
Preferred Skills (Not Required, but a Plus):
• Proven ability to efficiently utilize cloud computing platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, Google Cloud) and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters for scheduling, assigning, and managing computational research jobs.
• Knowledge of self-supervised learning and domain adaptation.
• Familiarity with neuroscience-related ML challenges, such as predicting clinical deterioration or integrating multimodal physiological data.
What We Offer:
• A dynamic, interdisciplinary research environment at the forefront of AI in neuroscience and critical care.
• Access to large-scale clinical datasets and state-of-the-art computational resources.
• Opportunities to publish in top-tier journals and present at leading conferences.
• A collaborative and intellectually stimulating research team with strong clinical and computational expertise.
