  • Contribute to the creation of appropriate cloud computing work flows to analyze "big data" from omics and electronic health records
  • Develop and implement artificial intelligence algorithms for applications across Marcus Institute research programs, clinical innovations, and operational initiatives.
  • Assist with integration of biologic and physiologic measures into the longitudinal Healthy Aging Initiative, including measures derived from blood, tissue samples, wearable devices, provocative testing, and electronic medical records.
  • Build productive and lucrative relationships with biotechnology companies and other industry partners to diversify institutional and investigator funding opportunities.
  • Participate actively in Marcus Institute activities and collaborate with faculty members at the Marcus Institute, Harvard University, and other academic and research institutions.

  • Strong record of scholarly productivity, including first-authored publications in peer-reviewed journals and evidence of emerging regional or national recognition in the candidate's field of expertise.
  • Demonstrated commitment to teaching, mentoring, and participation in institutional activities.
