The Centre for Health Informatics is seeking a research associate in health data science to drive innovation at the interface between biostatistics, machine learning, and software engineering. Working with clinical, IT and healthcare data experts, you will drive the modelling of health data using state-of-the-art methods from biostatistics and machine learning.
You will have previous relevant experience in academia or industry encompassing a strong mathematical element and significant statistical knowledge. You will be educated to PhD level in Statistics, Machine Learning, or related fields; have experience in the analysis of complex healthcare problems and datasets; and have significant statistical modelling and programming experience.
