Postdoctoral Scientist Data Science Ai/ml & Dh

Johnson & Johnson Johnson & Johnson · Pharma · Beerse, Antwerp, Belgium

Postdoctoral Scientist role focused on developing digital biomarkers and AI algorithms for digital endpoint development using wearable sensor data within Johnson & Johnson's healthcare research division.

What you'd actually do

  1. Analyze data from wearable sensors to develop digital biomarkers using methodologies from signal processing and AI.
  2. Prepare and process raw sensor data streams to extract clinically relevant and novel features.
  3. Build novel or enhance existing AI algorithms or time-series models for digital endpoint development and validation.
  4. Build sensor data analysis and modeling pipelines to develop re-usable software assets.
  5. Partner with cross-functional teams to execute on developing, adapting, and delivering digital health solutions. This includes defining “what” and “why” particular digital phenotype needs to be measured, developing analytical strategy and designing specific experiments.
