    Description
    Research Fellow Description

    GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT:

    Our laboratory applies computational, and machine learning methods to understand the impact of seizures and abnormal brain activity on outcomes in critically ill patients with brain injury. Our goal is to improve treatment strategies and the clinical care of these patients. Analysis of large datasets (including EHR datasets, hospital and claims based databases) and neurophysiology data (including electroencephalopgraphy-EEG) is central to these efforts.

    Specific efforts focus on developing methods for automatically abstracting data including clinical variables (eg medication doses, radiology, laboratory data) and clinical outcomes (eg medication adverse effects) on a large scale; creating tools to predict clinical outcomes in patients with seizures and abnormal EEG patterns treated with anti-seizure medications; and understanding the relationships between abnormal patterns of brain activity (EEG patterns) and neurological deterioration. Efforts will also focus on creating tools for data mining of structured and unstructured clinical data, including free text reports and clinical notes. This will include use of natural language processing. Efforts will also include signal processing, including EEG data processing and annotation.

    The ideal candidate will have excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills, knowledge of software development methodologies and systems design, and a desire to solve complex and large-scale problems to make important scientific and technical contributions to medicine.

    PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

    This position involves a range of opportunities, including:

    Analysis of EEG and other physiological time series data

    Statistical modeling and analysis of diverse medical data

    Software development and code management

    Management of a large physiological database

    Management of a multi-center electronic health record database

    EDUCATION:

    PhD in a relevant discipline such as statistics, machine learning, electronic engineering, computer science, or applied mathematics.

    SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITY:

    The candidate will work within a team of physicians, clinical research coordinators, and biomedical and electrical engineers, and computer scientists. May share responsibility for mentoring more junior lab members.
