Job description

About the Position

The Project Manager supports the implementation of the research study under the direction of the Principal Investigator (PI). The Project Manager is responsible for the recruitment of research participants, the management of the data collection, and oversight of the grant budget.

About the Project

This project is a multi-institution research collaboration with Stanford, Johns Hopkins, the Veteran Affairs (VA), and the Department of War (DoW) to build a sleep foundation model. Unlike traditional AI models, a sleep foundation model relies on self-supervised learning on vast amounts of physiological sleep study data (petabyte-level). By generating representations (embeddings) from the sleep data, the team aims to forecast future health risks and uncover latent patterns that traditional sleep scoring metrics miss.
