Senior Machine Learning Engineer I

The Senior Machine Learning Engineer will participate in research and development efforts aimed at solving problems in analyzing large-scale clinical data with a mission of improving human health. The candidate will work with multiple modalities, including imaging data, time series, and clinical notes. The candidate will also develop methods to ascertain disease outcomes as well as characterize risk factors from large electronic health record data sets. Rich representations of clinical data derived from deep learning models will be used in conjunction with genetic data to investigate the genetic basis for disease. The ideal candidate has both a theoretical and practical understanding of deep learning techniques and has a proven track record in areas such as clinical research, computational biology, probability, statistics, or data science.The candidate joins a strong team of machine learning practitioners to work with, has access to vast amounts of clinical data, and is encouraged to publish new methods and results in academic journals and conferences. The candidate will conduct research in clinical ML and disease biology, and must collaborate effectively with researchers at the Broad Institute and beyond. This position is suited to a person who is excited by the prospect of learning, adapting and applying modern machine learning techniques to solve the key challenges for emerging clinical data modalities, with revolutionary implications in advancing the state-of-the-art clinical practice.Responsibilities
