Postdoctoral Fellow in Machine Learning Modeling of Cirrhosis Disease Development

Organization: 
Queen's University
Country of Position: 
Canada
Contact Name: 
Geoff Chan
Start Date: 
12 May 2021
Expiration Date: 
01 September 2021
Position Description: 

We seek a post-doctoral fellow (PDF) to research machine learning (ML) modeling of cirrhosis disease event and risk evolution. The research will use a large healthcare dataset drawn from ICES’s data repositories (www.ices.on.ca). The PDF will work with Dr. Geoffrey Chan

https://www.ece.queensu.ca/people/W-Y-G-Chan/index.html

and Dr. Jennifer Flemming

https://deptmed.queensu.ca/people/jennifer-flemming.

The PDF appointment will initially be for one year. Consideration will be given to applicants who (will) have completed their Ph.D. degrees with statistical ML as key components of his/her research.  Experience with building ML models in health disciplines such as epidemiology, biomedical statistics, and hepatology and related medical areas such as cancer would be an asset. Applicants with experience in other ML problem domains will also be considered, based on demonstrated contribution to statistical ML modeling. The candidate’s ability/potential to quickly integrate into the ICES data environment is another consideration.

The salary (plus benefits) offered will be commensurate with the candidate’s qualification. To apply, please email a copy of your current CV and the names and contact information of three references to Dr. Geoffrey Chan (chan@queensu.ca).  Due to ongoing pandemic travel restrictions, preference will be given to qualified candidates who are already in Canada or who have a reasonable prospect of traveling to Canada to undertake the research.  Please indicate your residency status in your application.
