Advise on the development of multimodal data fusion approaches, integrating image data, biomarkers, clinical/demographic/risk factor covariates, and other relevant data streams leveraging machine learning, deep learning, and other AI/ML approaches. Provide expertise in machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence to the development and validation of diagnostic algorithms and software applications. Advise on software and mobile app development for digital health diagnostics, including requirements gathering and prototyping. Perform market and regulatory analyses, technical due diligence, literature reviews and generate briefing documents summarizing technical topics related to imaging miniaturization, oculomics, AI/ML, multimodal data fusion, smartphone mobile app development, and chronic disease molecular diagnostics. Evaluate technical proposals for scientific merit and innovation. Provide feedback, organize reviewer comments, draft recommendations and project summaries, and presentation materials. Develop technical and administrative programmatic documentation on short timelines to communicate technical approach, progress, cost, schedule and risk for advanced technology development efforts. Facilitate collaborations with external researchers, clinicians, and technology developers. Domain-Specific Duties (For Imaging & Optics Specialists): Provide subject matter expertise in imaging and optics. Experience with a focus on smartphone-based eye diagnostic technologies a plus. Advise on imaging systems, including camera sensors, optical hardware miniaturization, image signal processors, and computational photography techniques. Advise on techniques for objective and subjective image quality evaluation, including color accuracy, noise reduction, high dynamic range (HDR), tone mapping, and sharpness. Domain-Specific Duties (For Oculomics & Clinical Specialists): Recommend study designs and methodologies for evaluating the analytic validity and clinical utility of new diagnostic imaging platforms. Qualifications Core Experience (All Candidates): A PhD with 2+ years, MS with 5+ years, or a BA with 7+ years is acceptable. Experience in software and mobile app development for health or diagnostic applications. Hands-on experience with machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence applied to biomedical data. Team oriented with exceptional communication, writing, and organizational skills. Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills. Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment. Demonstrated experience in multimodal data fusion (e.g., integrating image, biomarker, and clinical data). Proven track record in analytic validity and clinical utility studies for diagnostic technologies. Familiarity with industry leaders and disrupters in digital health diagnostics, imaging, and AI/ML. Desired familiarity with federal research regulations and compliance standards. Prior experience supporting ARPA-like programs (e.g., DARPA, IARPA, ARPA-E) or U.S. DoD advanced development programs desired, but not required. Domain-Specific Expertise (required in ONE of the following areas): Demonstrated expertise in imaging and optics, particularly smartphone-based diagnostic imaging. Experience with oculomics research, especially in relation to chronic kidney disease, CKM syndrome, or other systemic diseases.
