Summary
This post-doctoral research will be conducted in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of experts in the fields of neuroscience, immunology, pain, anesthesia, and machine learning. The team also aims to recruit additional post-doctoral research associates, one research technician, one research assistant, and one research nurse.
Supervision will be provided by Dr. Andreas Karwath , and Dr. Ali Mazaheri, as well as Prof. Fang Gao Smith, and Dr. Helen McGettrick ,
The successful candidate will have a strong background in computer science, state-of the-art machine learning, artificial intelligence and multi-modal data integration. Experience with applying explainable machine learning/AI approaches within a medical or clinical setting, in particular in combining different modalities (EHR, biomarkers, longitudinal data, multi-omics, EEGs, NLP, , is a clear advantage.
