We are also working on integrating multimodal data to identify high-risk cancer populations or health disparities, developing biomedical and computational methods to aid in the early diagnosis and management of acute and late cancer therapy-related toxicities, and developing novel and robust data analysis algorithms to tackle causal mechanisms of action for the onset and progression of head and neck cancer disease.

  4. Training and supervising other research personnel on techniques and equipment procedures.
  5. Standardization of database records and nomenclature to optimize semantic interoperability.
  6. Collect, analyze, and plot data using appropriate software applications, and store and record data on computer and lab notebooks.
  7. Assist in writing of scientific papers for publication, grant applications, and presentations at scientific meetings.
Eligibility Requirements

Required Education: PhD in Computer Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, Computational Biology, or related field.

Required Experience: Three years of experience in data/computer science applications including ML/AI modeling, data curation, and ETL pipeline development or data architecture strategies. With a master's degree, one year of experience is required. With a PhD, no experience is required.

Preferred: Experience with reinforcement learning approaches. Experience handling clinical and/or multidimensional data. Experience with electronic health record automatic data extraction, transformation, database design, and biomedical informatics is highly preferred. Experience with natural-language processing is also preferred.
