No Department Overview A postdoctoral researcher position is available in the Division of Informatics, Clinical Epidemiology and Translational Data Science (DICE) in the OHSU Department of Medicine. The Medical Informatics Training Grant (T15) is funded by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and supports learning and research in biomedical informatics and data science. OHSU is one of 16 educational institutions in the United States offering an educational curriculum funded by the T15 grant. By providing a structured research experience under faculty mentorship, the program prepares postdoctoral fellows to undertake independent biomedical informatics research in the academic community or to assume leadership positions in a growing number of hospital and/or commercial efforts in biomedical informatics. Fellows engage in a rigorous and dynamic program of study - though they survey the field broadly during their fellowship, they also focus on and complete a significant research project that is presented in both oral and written form. The core competency of graduates from the
OHSU NLM
training program is to use informatics theory and applications to conduct research that utilizes data, information and IT to improve individual health, health care, public health, and/or biomedical research. In addition, graduates should be able to make scientific contributions to fields related to informatics, including, but not limited to, medicine, nursing, public health, other health professions, computer science, data science, library and information science, cognitive science, and organizational and management science. The postdoctoral fellow will be mentored by the T15 Program Director, Dr. Vishnu Mohan, or his designate. Initial appointment is for one year; the opportunity to extend by another year will be dependent on successful renewal of the T15 grant. All postdoctoral positions are customized to the level of experience of the trainee and the programmatic work expected of them.
