Job Description

The Division of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science (BIDS) within the Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics (HOBI) at the University of Florida (UF) is seeking a highly motivated and ambitious Postdoctoral Researcher with a strong background in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML). This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment focused on developing innovative AI/ML solutions for healthcare and biomedical research. The successful candidate will join a collaborative research team to contribute to projects at the intersection of AI/ML, real-world data, and health outcomes. The Postdoctoral Researcher will play a key role in developing and applying cutting-edge methods to analyze large-scale clinical datasets, including electronic health records (EHR), medical imaging, and unstructured clinical text. The candidate is required to have a Ph.D. in biomedical informatics, computer science, in-formation science, data science, (bio)-statistics, (applied) mathematics, physics, or a related STEM field. Prior working experience with EHR data, machine learning, deep learning, imaging informatics, and large language models (LLM) is preferred. This position will require collaboration with diverse stakeholders, including informatics experts, clinicians, basic scientists, and translational researchers in the department as well as across the University of Florida campus. In particular, the Postdoctoral Researcher will lead and assist with data modeling, AI/ML methods, software package development, scientific paper writing, and grant proposal writing.
