About the team/job
We are looking for motivated and qualified graduate
students with experience in reinforcement learning to join the Precision and
Intelligent System in medicine (PRISMAP) partnership at the
Department of Medicine at University of Florida. The student can work as a
research assistant or as an OPS if selected. 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 develop and validate reinforcement
algorithms using highly granular electronic health records data derived from Integrated
Data Repository. You will be involved in
data integration, data processing, and development and validation of
reinforcement algorithms, production of results for progress reports,
presentations, and manuscripts.

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.
