Informatics / Biomedical Informatics / Computer Science Postdoctoral Associate position at the University of Florida

With a focus on automate knowledge base construction.

-------------------
Informatics / Biomedical Informatics / Computer Science Postdoctoral Associate position available:
A Postdoctoral Associate position is immediately available for a highly motivated individual to work with Dr. Jiang Bian in the area of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Florida, College of Medicine.
The research topics will be highly interdisciplinary. Although significant advances have been made in the development of big data computing systems, the bridge from data processing to knowledge discovery, unfortunately, is still insurmountably challenging. Unlocking the value of big datasets in biomedical research demands strong background in multiple disciplines (e.g., machine learning, distributed systems, algorithms, knowledge representation, software engineering, clinical research). We are exploring a number of exciting areas related to the science of big data.
Preference will be given to applicants with practical experience in network analysis, natural language processing, predictive modeling, deep learning, distributed computing, and semantic web technologies.
The biomedical informatics group in the department of health outcomes and policy is a multidisciplinary group with a broad range of interests in network science, social media, text mining, machine learning, and AI techniques for biomedical research. For more information about the department and the focused research areas, please visit http://health-outcomes-policy.ufl.edu/ and http://jiangbian.me/. You can also email bianjiang@ufl.edu<mailto:bianjiang@ufl.edu> for more information.
This position will be funded for two years, and possibly a third year, based on performance.
-------------------
Minimum Requirements: PhD in biomedical informatics, computer science/engineering, information science, (applied) mathematics, biostatistics, statistics, or data science. Applicants should have strong written and oral communication skills, and have at least two first author papers written in English with accepted or published status in respected journals or conference proceedings. Strength in multiple programming languages (e.g., Python, C/C++, Java) and experience with data analytics are required. Preference will be given to applicants with practical experience in network analysis, natural language processing, predictive modeling, deep learning, distributed computing, and semantic web technologies.
