Job description

Job Summary

The Medical and Health Informatics (MEI) Lab is dedicated to advancing the medical and health sciences by empowering application of a more Personalized, Preventive, Predictive, and Participatory (i.e., "P4") practice of medicine and wellness. We aim to individualize and revolutionize healthcare through application of Bio Digital Twin technologies to achieve Precision Medicine. The primary role for this position will be to facilitate development of a cardiovascular BioDT, a digital representation of all that can be known or inferred about an individual’s physiology, pathophysiology, multi-omics, lifestyle, behaviors, and risk factors.

Responsibilities

• Develop and apply analytical and statistical techniques to refine mechanistic physiological models and their associated parameter ranges as part of the CV BioDT development.
• Assist in maintaining and enhancing the MATLAB and Simulink code comprising the physiological models.
• Keep abreast of medical and scientific developments by continuously reviewing literature in the field, monitoring competitor activities, networking with experts and attending important conferences.
• Communicate and collaborate effectively, demonstrate leadership and teamwork with peers, internal stakeholders and external scientific colleagues.
• Summarize research results in appropriate academic journals.

Qualifications and Skills

• Masters degree in Biomedical Engineering or a related field.
• Expertise in MATLAB and Simulink.
• Familiarity with statistical methods (e.g., Bayesian inference).
• Experience with physiological systems (analysis, modeling and/or simulation).
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
