About the team/job
We
are looking for motivated and qualified graduate students to join the Precision
and Intelligent System in medicine (PRISMAP) partnership at the Department of
Medicine at University of Florida as a Volunteer (1-2 months) and then as an
OPS. Our group works on wide range of topics in medical informatics and data
science in healthcare with a current focus on developing artificial
intelligence platforms for augmented decision making in healthcare.
Your
role
Your
role would be to assist in data processing, management, integration, and
variable generation, develop phenotyping algorithms, develop and validate
algorithms using multi-modal high-fidelity omics data derived from molecular
analyses that includes mRNA, miRNA and metabolomics as well as other healthcare
data (electronic health records, vital signs time series, sensor data) by data
integration, data analysis using machine learning and deep learning. Data
will mostly come from Integrated Data Repository and/or various internal clinical
projects with patients and healthy individuals. You will be responsible for
documentation of codes written and assist with preparation of result for
reports, presentations, and manuscripts.

Why
join us
Why
not? University of Florida is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering
attractive conditions and benefits with a very collegial and family friendly
working environment. The experience gained will put you on the front edge of
the research in healthcare data science. Our graduates have joined prestige
companies such as Philips, Amazon and Google, and some have pursued successful
academic career.
What
else do I need to know
Precision
and Intelligence in Medicine (PRISMAP) is an innovative and
interdisciplinary research partnership of experts in the field of data science,
clinical informatics and autonomic networks in the Colleges of Engineering and
Medicine at University of Florida. The strength of this team stems from the
unique proximity between the researchers in engineering, computer science and
medicine to implement advances in data science in hospital care. We are
supported with the grants from NIH and NSF and other independent sources. We
have fully functional intelligent platform for real-time predictive analytics
and decision support in clinical environment that puts us on the edge of the
research in the next-generation of clinical decision support tools. Our mission
is to offer vital services in training scientists, students and visitors at all
levels; to develop new instruments and methods in the medical informatics and
data science and to improve healthcare experience for both providers and
users.
