GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Department of Neurology and Harvard Medical School (HMS) is seeking a signal processing and machine learning post-doctoral fellow for a full-time position in the Gupta Lab. The fellow will be applying diverse methodologies to uncover information in multimodal data collected from individuals with common and rare neurodegenerative diseases. Large and rapidly growing datasets include wearable sensor, video, audio, mobile device, and computer mouse data. The candidate will become immersed in a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment, consisting of neurologists, computer scientists, clinical trials experts, and drug development teams, from varied groups in academia and industry. In addition to working with large datasets, the candidate will lead analysis of novel N-of-1 study data, where both the therapy and the digital measurement strategy is custom created for an individual with a neurological disorder. The candidate will additionally contribute to an open source initiative to advance the field of digital phenotyping in neurology ( The role is ideally suited for an individual with a rigorous training in signal processing and time series analysis methods (particularly wearable sensor and video data), including deep neural networks and state space models, with a particular interest in model interpretability. Individuals will be well positioned to pursue future opportunities in either academia or industry, and work will be tailored to achieve these goals.
