How can I work with the lab?

We are actively recruiting research assistants/engineers, visiting students, and postdoctoral fellows. We are especially interested in hearing from individuals from nontraditional or underrepresented backgrounds. If you are interested in joining or learning more about the lab, please read position-level information and instructions here.

We are looking for relevant research experience in any of the following areas: machine learning on medical data, statistics, longitudinal time-series, geospatial data, risk stratification, ethical implications of ML, health equity, and correcting for missing or biased data.

What is Professor Irene Chen like as an advisor?

Please see Irene’s advising statement for more information including collaboration style, lab structure, and research philosophy.

What future projects are you interested in?

The lab’s research interests generally revolve around questions related to machine learning, healthcare, equity and fairness, and the overlap of these topics. Ongoing projects including auditing algorithmic bias, learning and improving clinical treatment protocols, and climate change health. Student input is very important, and Irene is always open to other ideas as well.
