http://precise.seas.upenn.edu/

PRECISE center at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking applications for research positions as PhD students and postdoctoral fellows to work on multiple projects related to health informatics and personalized health. The projects involve developing safe and secure medical device interoperability and quantitative techniques for vital sign data acquisition, analysis, and implementation of closed-loop physiological cyber-physical systems using medical devices. The target medical devices include (but are not limited to) wearable technologies, bedside monitors, mechanical ventilators, anesthesia machines, and proton therapy machines. Researchers will work closely with our clinical colleagues at the Hospital of the University Pennsylvania (HUP) and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

Researchers with an interest and experience in any related areas are welcome to apply. Particular areas of interest include one or more of the following:

- Control of physiological systems and networked devices
- Formal methods for life critical systems
- Machine learning for personalized health
- Security of embedded medical systems
- Systems development and implementations

Preferred candidates are expected to have a strong theoretical background and proven system-building skills.

Positions are offered based on experience level, with an option to extend based on mutual agreement. As soon as possible starting date is strongly desired. A competitive salary will be offered.

Please send a complete CV including research statement to Insup Lee (lee@cis.upenn.edu), Oleg Sokolsky (sokolsky@cis.upenn.edu) or James Weimer (weimerj@seas.upenn.edu).
