Research Fellow - Family Medicine

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will have a primary focus on clinical informatics-driven, health services and translational research, with strong emphasis on AI‑enabled risk stratification, cardiogenetics, and implementation of clinical decision support (CDS) tools in primary care.

Key Responsibilities and Activities Will Include

• Conducting EHR‑based clinical research using large, longitudinal datasets to support development and validation of AI/ML models for early detection of inherited cardiac conditions (e. g., long QT syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy).
• Supporting data integration and feature engineering across structured and unstructured sources, including family history data, ECG parameters, AI‑derived ECG phenotypes, and clinical covariates.
• Assisting with model development, validation, and performance evaluation in collaboration with biostatistics, data science, and clinical informatics experts.
• Participating in health services and implementation science activities, including workflow assessment, clinician and patient stakeholder interviews, and co‑design of CDS tools for integration into primary care practice.
• Contributing to retrospective and prospective study analyses, prevalence estimation using AI‑assisted methods, and simulation of clinical impact compared with standard referral practices.
• Preparing manuscripts, abstracts, and reports, and supporting regulatory and IRB documentation related to AI‑enabled clinical research.
• Working closely with a multidisciplinary team spanning family medicine, cardiology, cardiovascular genomics, clinical informatics, quantitative health sciences, and AI research.
