Overview
Job: Data Scientist II — The Division of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science (BIDS) within the Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics (HOBI) at the University of Florida (UF). Location: Main Campus (Gainesville, FL). Work type: Staff Full-Time. Department: 29240101 - MD-HOBI-GENERAL. Classification Title: Data Scientist II. Salary: $73,000. Responsibilities
Develop methods and tools to effectively use electronic health record (EHR) data; apply AI/ML methods to solve critical clinical and biomedical problems. Implement methods into software that meets research needs, and manage and update source codes as needed. Collaborate in an interdisciplinary team of informaticists, programmers, information quality experts, statisticians, and researchers during software development. Lead and participate in the design, implementation, and reporting of research and evaluation studies; contribute to scientific reports, conference papers, journal articles, and grant proposals, including documentation of method, presentation of data, and interpretation of results. Lead and participate in collaborative projects and contribute to data processing, software development, and other collaborative efforts. Qualifications
Required: A Bachelor’s Degree in data science, statistics, bioinformatics, analytics, or similar field and three years of experience; or a Master’s Degree with one year of experience; or a Doctoral Degree in data science, statistics, bioinformatics, analytics, or similar field. MS in biomedical informatics, computer science, information science, data science, (bio)-statistics, (applied) mathematics, physics, or related STEM field. Strong programming and data analysis skills (e.g., Python, R). Solid understanding of machine learning, deep learning, and data modeling techniques. Preferred: Prior working experience with EHR data, machine learning, deep learning, imaging informatics, and large language models (LLM). Experience with ML packages (e.g., PyTorch, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Pandas, Keras, NumPy, SciPy), and traditional ML models (SVMs, GBM) as well as deep learning models (GNN, CNN, GCN) including LLMs. Ability to develop informatics tools and software packages. Excellent formal and interpersonal communication skills for diverse audiences (students, clinicians, PIs). Ability to apply advanced statistical, AI/ML, and informatics methods to analyze real-world data (EHRs, images, clinical notes) for biomedical and health outcomes research. Support development and implementation of novel informatics approaches, including vision-language models and foundation models. Assist with causal inference and discovery methods, including causal AI approaches for clinical trial emulation. Contribute to manuscript preparation, grant proposal development, and dissemination of scientific results. Provide technical guidance and near-peer mentorship to graduate students and research trainees within the group. Application Instructions
