The University of Minnesota Department of Pharmaceutical Care and Health Systems (Twin Cities) and the Computer Science Department (Duluth) invite applicants for a post-doctoral position in health informatics. This position will support a project that will focus on developing measures of semantic relatedness among biomedical concepts and applying these measures for medication safety surveillance. The University of Minnesota has a strong emphasis on Biomedical and Health Informatics. The successful applicant for this position will join a dynamic and rapidly growing group of investigators with a broad spectrum of expertise including informatics, computer science, pharmacy, medicine, public health, linguistics and cognitive science.
The successful candidate will have a doctorate degree in computer science, computational linguistics, information science, health informatics or a closely related discipline. The candidate will also have a strong programming background (Java, C++ and/or Perl) as the work will involve software development and evaluation including database management and web-based technologies.
Preference will be given to candidates with strong backgrounds in natural language processing and machine learning and those that have demonstrated experience in working with measuring semantic similarity and ontological and terminological resources such as WordNet, UMLS, SNOMED-CT. Familiarity with building software applications for distributed multi-processor platforms is also a plus.
Interested individuals should submit a letter of intent, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to : Dr. Serguei Pakhomov (pakh0002@umn.edu) and Dr. Ted Pedersen (tpederse@d.umn.edu)
Application review process will begin on February 1, 2009. This is a one year appointment, which can be renewed for up to three years.
