We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the Zero Knowledge Discovery Lab (zedlab), to work on problems at the intersection of biology, medicine, mathematics and computation. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of next-generation learning algorithms to understand human health trajectories through advanced digital twin frameworks. This position offers an extraordinary opportunity in the field of computational health modeling that integrates clinical, genotypic, environmental, and behavioral data at scale to devise next generation healthcare tools. The ideal candidate will be an applied mathematician with equally sophisticated skill in theorem proving, algorithms and coding.
