The successful candidate will hold a primary appointment in the Department of Data Science at DFCI, with a faculty appointment in the Department of Biostatistics at HSPH. Resources will be provided to support developing a research team, including postdoctoral fellows and graduate students.

Basic Qualifications: Qualified applicants will have a doctoral degree in biostatistics, statistics, computer science, computational biology, or a related field. Candidates are required to have their doctoral degree at the time of application. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated record and interest in machine learning.

Additional Qualifications: Expertise and interest in developing and applying AI/ML methodology, candidates should be enthusiastic about teaching and training through graduate programs and mentoring early career faculty. The candidate should possess the ability to work collaboratively with other scientists within the Biostatistics Department and should espouse the scholarly qualities required to teach and mentor doctoral students. Candidates should be committed to building a safe and inclusive institutional culture that respects and harnesses our many differences.
