Mayo Clinic is looking to solve complex data science problems in cancer using artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, specifically in the areas of natural language processing, large language models, and multi-modal data integration.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Biomedical Informatics, Data Science, Biostatistics, or a closely related field determined by the program.
- Strong foundation in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
- Excellent Python programming skills; experience with common data analysis libraries (e.g., pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn) and at least one deep learning framework (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, HuggingFace).
- Familiarity with SQL databases and basic querying skills.
- Familiarity with natural language processing techniques and/or large language models.
- Experience working with structured or unstructured data, including text data.
- Experience with multi-modal data (text, imaging, genomics).
Responsibilities
- Training and implementation of large language models that demonstrate good performance with healthcare data.
- Utilize artificial intelligence techniques, including natural language processing such as large language models, computer vision and other deep learning methods, to build task-specific models for diverse applications in healthcare.
- Develop artificial intelligence frameworks for data extraction from free-text unstructured text reports and imaging/histopathological imaging data.
- Develop and/or improve predictive models using uni-modal and multimodal electronic health records system data (free text, imaging, genomics)
- Develop/enhance software for living clinical practice guidelines.
- Work with a multi-disciplinary team of physicians, computer scientists, and biomedical statisticians to improve artificial intelligence-based approaches for solving complex data science problems in cancer.
- Harbor excellent verbal- and written- communication and presentation skills.
Other
- Proof of English proficiency is required for J-1 Short-Term Scholars, Research Scholars, Professors, Specialists, and Student Interns sponsored by Mayo Clinic.
- Good written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Interest in clinical or healthcare-related research applications.
- Experience collaborating in multi-disciplinary research teams.
- Education, experience and tenure may be considered along with internal equity when job offers are extended.
