Call for applications to PhD/Postdoc study in Data Science/Big Data for Health Informatics in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Utah
The Department of Biomedical Informatics (http://medicine.utah.edu/bmi/) at the University of Utah was established in 1964 as the first one of its kind in the world. We have openings for PhD and Postdoc students to work on data science / big data projects for health informatics. The applicants for these projects should have formal education background in computer science or related fields, preferably in the areas of data science / big data, machine learning, data mining, database, and/or text processing.
The Department has a Biomedical Informatics Training Grant from the National Library of Medicine (NLM). The primary purpose of this grant is to train research investigators in Biomedical Informatics. The NLM funding for students is limited to US citizens and permanent residents. For Pre-doctoral students, this grant is designed to fund students to achieve the PhD degree. The NLM training grant pays a stipend, tuition expenses, health insurance premiums, and travel expenses to the annual NLM trainees meeting. Continuation of funding is made on a year-to-year basis and is contingent upon adequate student performance each year and the availability of funds.
Pre-doctoral Training Positions:
Eligible funding for 1-5 years for advanced informatics training and leads towards a PhD degree. Please follow the general application instructions at http://medicine.utah.edu/bmi/academics-education/application-instructions.php
Post-doctoral Training Positions (trainees from a non-health related field):
Eligible funding for 1-3 years for advanced informatics training, and typically do not lead to a degree. Applicants must have a PhD to apply. These positions are funded at the NLM stipend support rates (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/ep/trainingdirectors.html).
Application Requirements:
1. Statement of Research Interests
2. CV
3. Faculty member(s) you are interested in working with
4. Completion of Department Supplementary Application Form (http://medicine.utah.edu/bmi/documents/supplementary-form2014.pdf)
Applicants interested in data science / big data projects for health informatics are welcome to contact Gang Luo at gang dot luo at utah dot edu for more information. The application deadline is December 31, 2014.
Each NLM informatics research training program makes special efforts to recruit individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and those from economically, socially, culturally or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds, into careers in biomedical informatics. The positions are for US citizens and permanent residents. For more information, see http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/trainedu.html
