As examples, this may entail expertise in working with large, complex data structures (e.g., images, text) found in electronic health records, the use of observational data to assess causality, meta-analysis, or algorithmic approaches suited to big data. The ideal candidate will be committed to developing and delivering courses at the undergraduate and graduate level related to their research areas as well as to teaching core courses in the department.
