  • PhD in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Statistics, or related field
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow)
  • Interest in computational pathology or clinical ML applications
  • Strong publication record or demonstrated research productivity
Research Fellow

Research Fellow — Clinical Informatics & Dermatology AI

We welcome medical students and recent graduates interested in gaining hands-on research experience in clinical informatics, machine learning, and dermatology. Fellows contribute to ongoing projects in melanoma prognosis, irAE surveillance, and LLM-based clinical NLP. Prior research experience and interest in academic medicine are preferred.

  • Medical student or recent graduate (MD/DO/MBBS)
  • Interest in dermatology, oncology, or clinical AI
  • Basic programming experience (Python, R) a plus but not required
  • Commitment of at least 6 months
Graduate Student

PhD / MMSc Student — Harvard DBMI
