WE ARE HIRING!

Digital Health Scientist Position Overview



The AIDD lab of Greater Bay Area Institute of Precision Medicine (Guangzhou) is hiring a Research Scientist in NLP/CV/Machine Learning – Knowledge Graph, to research, design, implement, and optimize novel algorithms/models that lead to novel or improved systems. You will be working with top scientists and doctors to create innovative AI solutions to support knowledge discovery, decision-making, clinical support, and attainment of optimal patient outcomes.


What you will be doing:

* Development of novel algorithms and working prototypes / demos based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning / Machine Learning techniques

* Create solutions related (but not limited) to information extraction, automated question answering, and reasoning using structured / unstructured clinical data and biomedical literature, and other sources

* Stay abreast on the existing literature to align, compare and contrast with the state-of-the-art techniques and algorithms

* Prepare manuscripts for top quality AI / Machine Learning / NLP / Healthcare conferences and journals

* Seize opportunities to apply for internal and external research grants

* Working closely with universities, scientific institutions, academic organizations and governmental resources in the capacity of collaborative relationships as needed

We’d like you to have:

* Ph.D. in Computer Science or related fields

* Expertise in Artificial Intelligence (Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing)

* Experience in Knowledge Graph, Information Extraction

* Proficiency in Python or Java/C++ programming languages

* Experience in Database (SQL, NoSQL, etc.)

* Experience in working under Unix/Linux environments

* Experience with deep learning tools and frameworks (e.g. Keras, TensorFlow, Torch, PyTorch, Theano, Caffe etc.)

* Familiar with clinical NLP along with medical terminologies and ontologies (e.g. ICD 10) and data standards (e.g., FHIR, HL7, DICOM) is a strong preference

* Experience in working with multi-modal and multi-source clinical data is a strong plus

* Strong track record of scientific publications and presentations in top-tier scientific conferences

* Proficiency in software engineering and architecture is a strong plus

* Ability to bridge communication gaps between clinical practice and computer science along with an understanding of patient care workflow in a variety of clinical settings is a strong plus

* Ability to work within a team environment, and should be a quick learner and self-motivated with the ability to plan and execute

* Ability to communicate effectively, both written and verbal
