Shalmali Joshi and Noémie Elhadad are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in Machine Learning to conduct cutting edge research to develop new methods and a foundational understanding for generalization, transfer learning and/or domain adaptation for healthcare applications.
As a postdoc, you will work on conceptualizing and leading projects that address major challenges in the area of generalization with relevance to healthcare. You will develop principled methods using causal inference, probabilistic modeling and deep learning in static and longitudinal settings. You will also have the opportunity to apply your novel methodological work in psychiatry data that combines multiple data-domains and heterogeneous data types.
