Successful candidates will have a strong interest in motivating their theoretical and/or algorithmic research into deep learning, casual discovery, casual inference, or other areas by real needs in health, broadly-defined. Example application areas include learning from electronic health records or other observational mobile health applications or medical image processing. These examples are not meant to imply a limit on our scope of interest but to illustrate its breadth.
