- MD, PhD, or equivalent research background. Relevant PhD fields include computer science, biomedical or clinical informatics, statistics, biostatistics, and related disciplines. Physician applicants should bring substantial quantitative or computational research experience; a PhD is not required.
- 3+ years of research experience within clinical environments or through sustained collaboration with clinicians and health systems in addition to research conducted during doctorate studies. This experience may include, but is not limited to, work conducted during research or clinical training.
- Prior experience with applying ML/NLP methods to unstructured text data, as evidenced by significant coursework or research publications.
- A strong record of leading rigorous research in clinical informatics, AI in healthcare, or related fields, demonstrated through peer-reviewed publications in top venues and clear ownership of the underlying work.
- Strong judgment about clinical data and study design: you recognize when an outcome is poorly measured, a study is confounded, or an evaluation does not support the intended clinical claim.
- The ability to lead substantive scientific discussions with experienced clinical investigators and researchers, explain methodological tradeoffs clearly, and build productive collaborations.
- Rigor at speed. You can scope and execute scientifically rigorous work under compressed timelines. You make thoughtful tradeoffs to deliver credible evidence where and when it is needed most.
- A problem-before-method mindset. You do not change the question to make it amenable to simple analysis. You use established methods when they are sufficient, learn unfamiliar approaches when needed, and develop new methods when existing ones fall short.
