Postdoctoral Fellow in biostatistics and statistical modeling for longitudinal survival data
Applications are invited for postdoctoral fellow positions in biostatistics to join Dr. Summer Han’s research group in the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research at Stanford University. This position emphasizes developing and applying novel statistical methods for analyzing large electronic health records (EHR) data for patients with cancer or neurological diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease). Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to (1) machine learning methods for analyzing time-to-event outcomes under competing risks, (2) dynamic risk modeling for high-dimensional survival data using longitudinal features, (3) addressing selection and representativeness bias in EHRs; (4) causal inference methods for handling bias due to dependent censoring or competing risks; (5) missing data imputation for longitudinal EHR data, and (6) target trial emulation methods using EHRs or other large administrative claims data.

Required Qualifications: 
  • We seek an individual with strong statistical and computing backgrounds.
  • Successful applicants should have a strong background in statistics with a Ph.D. degree in statistics or biostatistics (or related fields) and hands-on experience in algorithmic implementation, statistical programming, and data manipulation.
