Job Summary
The role is ideal for Senior Research Fellow who is passionate about applying clinical AI and advanced analytics to improve patient outcomes, optimize healthcare delivery, and support evidence-based decision-making. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will work with diverse datasets including electronic health records (EHR), clinical coding standards, genomics, and public health registries to develop data-driven solutions that impact population health at scale in Singapore.
Key Responsibilities
- Analyze and integrate large-scale healthcare datasets (EHR, claims, genomics, registries, public health surveillance).
- Develop, validate, and deploy predictive and prescriptive models to support clinical decision-making and public health interventions.
- Apply machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to clinical narratives, biomedical text, and unstructured health data.
- Collaborate with clinicians and public health experts to identify high-impact problems and translate them into technical solutions.
- Conduct data-driven evaluations of health interventions, screening programs, and risk stratification tools.
- Ensure data quality, security, and compliance with ethical AI principles.
- Build visualizations and decision-support tools for clinical and policy stakeholders.
- Contribute to publications and presentations on applied clinical AI and health data science.
Required Qualifications
- PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, or related discipline.
- Excellent programming skills in Python
- Proficiency with machine learning frameworks (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
- Ability to communicate results clearly to clinical and non-technical audiences.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with and / or interest in novel deep learning architectures – e.g., fusion or energy-based models and fine-tuning large language models.
- Exposure to EHR data and healthcare data standards and ontologies (e.g., SNOMED CT, ICD, LOINC, HL7/FHIR).
- Exposure to time-series modeling and risk prediction models.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and MLOps best practices.
- Prior experience in multi-disciplinary teams involving clinicians, researchers, and policymakers
