The Arnaout laboratory is part of both the Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute and the nationally ranked Department of Medicine. Projects focus on deep learning for medical imaging, and through collaborative work with intra- and inter-institutional partners, also involve the electronic health record, genetics, and other data types.
POSITION. The successful candidate will work closely with the Principal Investigator and team to coordinate data science research projects; organize and maintain computational and clinical operating procedures; and coordinate communications for the laboratory. The project manager position offers an opportunity to manage medical data science projects across the entire life cycle, from data mining PHI and interacting with clinicians to organizing data processing and analysis tasks, communicating with clinical and technical collaborators, and integrating findings into the clinical context.
