Connectionists: Job opportunity for AI in medicine

[Hava Siegelmann]

Position description
The Department of Physiology at McGill University is seeking applicants for
a tenure-track faculty
position at the Assistant/Associate Professor rank. The Department of
Physiology is seeking applicants
who apply artificial intelligence/machine learning to physiological
systems. The projected start date for
this position is August 1, 2019.
The Department of Physiology (www.mcgill.ca/physiology/) is world-renowned
for its interdisciplinary
research program, which combines a vibrant community in the mathematical
and computational
sciences with experimentalists working in a broad range of areas of
physiology. The department hosts

the state-of-the-art, Advanced BioImaging Facility (ABIF) with expert
research staff as well as the long-
standing Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine
(CAMBAM). The department of

Physiology is proud to host a respectful, multi-disciplinary and inclusive
work setting in its multiple areas
of activity, which includes the training of a diverse group of students.
Canada has identified artificial intelligence as a priority area for
investment and Montreal is flourishing
as an AI hub (
www.montrealinternational.com/en/foreign-investments/sectors/artificial-intelligence/
).
McGill has several ongoing AI initiatives, is home to the newly created
Quantitative Life Sciences (QLS)
graduate program and has hired researchers in AI/machine learning across
several faculties. The current
AI ecosystem in the Montreal area, as well as a diverse faculty of
experimentalists and theoreticians in
broad areas of physiological dynamics (cardiac physiology, neurosciences,
and imaging) make the
Department of Physiology an ideal place to launch a research program in
AI/machine learning as applied
to physiological systems.
McGill University was founded in 1821 and is consistently ranked among the
top 20 public universities in
the world and among the top three in Canada. McGill is located in Montreal,
Quebec
(www.montrealinternational.com/en/), a multiethnic city with a sparkling
cultural life. Montreal has
been selected numerous times as the best city for students in North
America. Montreal is safe, housing
costs are among the lowest for cities of comparable size, and overall
quality of life is outstanding.
