Job Description

What you'll do:

• Build LLM-based and generative AI agents that solve impactful business challenges at Tempus across all our business units - touching on clinical notes, electronic health records, medical imaging, sequencing data, etc.
• Healthcare-focused Research and Development: Conduct research and exploration of generative AI techniques, with a specific emphasis on healthcare applications. Stay up to date with the latest advancements in the field and adapt them to address healthcare-specific challenges, such as medical image generation, drug discovery, patient data analysis, or personalized medicine.
• Model Design and Development: Design and implement generative AI models tailored for healthcare scenarios. Develop models that can generate realistic and high-quality medical images, synthetic patient data, or generate text-based medical reports
• Experimentation and Evaluation: Design and execute experiments to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of generative AI models in healthcare settings. Develop appropriate evaluation metrics that align with healthcare outcomes and clinical requirements. Collaborate with domain experts, clinicians, and researchers to validate and refine the models' outputs.
• Collaborative Teamwork: Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including healthcare professionals, data scientists, software engineers, and product managers. Leverage their expertise to guide your research, gain insights into real-world healthcare challenges, and translate your findings into practical solutions.
• Prototyping and Implementation: Develop prototypes and proof-of-concept implementations of generative AI solutions for healthcare. Work closely with engineering teams to integrate your models into healthcare platforms, systems, or applications. Ensure scalability, efficiency, and robustness of the deployed solutions.
• Regulatory Compliance and Ethical Considerations: Stay up to date with healthcare regulations, privacy laws, and ethical considerations relevant to the development and deployment of AI in healthcare. Ensure compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, and other applicable standards throughout the development process.
• Continuous Learning and Industry Engagement: Stay actively involved in the healthcare and AI research communities. Attend relevant conferences, workshops, and seminars. Publish research findings in reputable scientific venues. Collaborate with academic and industry partners to advance the state-of-the-art in generative AI for healthcare.

Qualifications:

• PhD. or Master's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field. A strong academic background with a focus on generative AI and healthcare applications is highly preferred.
• Extensive experience in developing and implementing generative AI models, such as GANs, VAEs, and related architectures.
• Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in AI research, such as Python and TensorFlow/PyTorch. Experience with healthcare-specific frameworks (e.g., DICOM, FHIR) is a plus.
• Solid knowledge of machine learning concepts, including deep learning, optimization algorithms, regularization techniques, and model
• Bias-to-action, appetite for high-risk high-gain projects with a pragmatic approach to rapid and measurable progress
• Strong track record in publications, patents, and/or launched products in this space

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience working with sensitive healthcare data, medical imaging modalities, clinical workflows, and healthcare terminology. Familiarity with electronic health records (EHRs) and medical imaging formats (e.g., DICOM) is advantageous.
• Experience in late-stage startup environment
• Experience building and bringing practical use, knowledge graphs and graph-based machine learning models
• Expertise with embedding, multimodal fusion
