What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in biomedical visualization, and why are they important?

To thrive in Biomedical Visualization, a strong background in both biomedical sciences and visual communication—often supported by a degree in medical illustration, biomedical visualization, or a related field—is essential. Mastery of digital illustration software (such as Adobe Creative Suite), 3D modeling tools (like Autodesk Maya or Blender), and sometimes certification from the Board of Certification of Medical Illustrators (CMI) is advantageous. Attention to detail, creativity, and effective collaboration and communication skills help differentiate top professionals in this field. These skills are crucial for accurately conveying complex scientific concepts to diverse audiences, including healthcare professionals, patients, and educators.

Are biomedical visualization jobs in high demand?

Biomedical visualization jobs are in growing demand due to advances in medical technology, research, and education. Professionals in this field often require skills in 3D modeling, animation, and software such as Adobe Creative Suite or 3D rendering tools, with opportunities increasing in healthcare, research institutions, and educational settings.

What is a biomedical visualization?

A Biomedical Visualization job involves creating accurate and engaging visuals to communicate complex medical and scientific concepts. Professionals in this field use illustration, animation, virtual reality, and other media to assist in education, research, and patient communication. They often collaborate with medical professionals, researchers, and educators to produce materials for textbooks, surgical simulations, pharmaceutical advertising, and more. This career requires expertise in both science and visual communication, often supported by specialized training in medical illustration or biomedical design.

What are the typical day-to-day responsibilities of someone working in biomedical visualization?

Professionals in Biomedical Visualization typically spend their days creating detailed medical illustrations, 3D models, animations, or interactive media to support education, research, or patient communication. They collaborate closely with scientists, physicians, and educators to ensure that visuals are scientifically accurate and effectively tailored to the target audience. Depending on the project, tasks may also include editing storyboards, consulting on visual strategy, and staying current with new visualization technologies. This dynamic role combines creative design skills with scientific knowledge and often involves both independent and team-based work.

Title
HMS - Postdoctoral Fellow in Biomedical Informatics (HIDIVE Lab)
School
Harvard Medical School
Department/Area
Position Description
Our Lab
Join our team of researchers, engineers, and designers to shape a future in which humans and AI collaborate to solve the most challenging biological and medical problems!
The HIDIVE Lab in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School is conducting research at the interface human and artificial intelligence. We create methods and tools that enable humans and machines alike to interact with and generate insights from biomedical data. In our work, we combine state-of-the-art biomedical informatics, data visualization, and AI/ML techniques across the full spectrum of biomedical data. An overview of recent publications of the lab can be found on Google Scholar.
We value diverse viewpoints, creative thinking, and bold initiative in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary work environment. The HIDIVE Lab has an international reputation for creating high-impact data visualization tools, and we are driven to solve the most challenging design and engineering problems where biomedical data, humans, and AI meet. We would love to have you on our team!
Your Role
As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the lab, you will take a scientific leadership role and be in charge of one or more research projects. Under the mentorship of the PI, you will develop and execute strategies for
  • publishing,
  • collaboration, and
  • funding acquisition (grants, industry sponsorship)

to support and disseminate your work. You will also have the opportunity to
  • mentor junior lab members (interns, Master's and PhD students) and
  • Occasionally participate in teaching and outreach.

Research Fellows typically stay in the lab for a period of around 2 - 4 years with the aim of leading a research group as their next career step. Alternative career paths can be supported as well but the primary goal is to prepare Research Fellows for success as an independent researcher in academic or non-profit settings. To achieve your career goals, you will be able to take advantage of career development opportunities offered by the Harvard Medical School Postdoc Office and other Harvard University resources.
Our Research
We are currently looking for postdoctoral researchers who want to contribute to our mission by leading research projects in one or more of the following areas:
  • Generative AI for visual exploration of biomedical data
  • Interfaces for collaboration with AI Co-Scientists
  • Multimodal clinical data visualization, including EHR, imaging, genomics, and clinical trial data
  • Mixed Reality for 2D and 3D tissue data visualization in spatial biology
  • Communication and interactive storytelling through biomedical data visualization
  • Visualization of genome-mapped data (genomics, epigenomics, nucleomics, etc.)
  • Multimodal spatial and single-cell data visualization
  • 2D and 3D bioimaging data visualization
  • Data analysis and data management infrastructure for biomedical data visualization

Our Resources
The HIDIVE Lab participates in large-scale collaborative projects such as
  • NIH Human Biomolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP)
  • NIH Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet)
  • NIH Kidney Precision Medicine Network (KPMP)
  • NIH Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE)
  • APRA-H Biomedical Data Fabric (BDF)
  • Human Cell Atlas (HCA)
  • NIH 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN).

Through these projects, we have access to a large number of data sets across many data modalities as well as large user audiences and collaborators who are leading experts in their biomedical domains. We are also working with many individual collaborators at Harvard and beyond, who bring their computational, data science, and biomedical expertise to our projects.
Our work also benefits from multiple research software products (e.g.,HiGlass, Vitessce, Gosling, HuBMAP Data Portal User Interface, etc.) that the HIDIVE Lab has developed and maintains through a team of engineers and designers. These products are used by individual scientists, consortia, and companies all over the world and can serve as a framework to implement and disseminate the outcomes of our research.
Basic Qualifications
The minimum qualifications for this role are:
  • Doctoral degree in biomedical informatics, computer science, computational biology, data science or a related field.
  • Peer-reviewed publications in the top venues in your area of expertise.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively across scientific domains.

Additional Qualifications
If visa sponsorship is needed, Harvard retains the discretion to determine which visa status is appropriate and whether a visa sponsorship application will ultimately be submitted, including payment of any applicable fees.
