Description:

EMR.AI Inc., San Francisco, CA

Research Scientist, Natural Language Processing 

Headquartered in San Francisco, CA, EMR.AI Inc. is a leading provider of AI
solutions to the medical sector.  EMR.AI transforms unstructured information,
in form of written, spoken, or typed reports, clinical test results, and
radiographs into international standard codes saved in common EMR systems. The
wealth of discrete medical data provided through this transformation in
conjunction with EMR.AI's suite of medical analytics solutions enables
stakeholders, practitioners, researchers, health providers, and policy makers
to obtain a comprehensive picture of the available medical data in their
organization. 

Summary 

EMR.AI Research & Development has openings for Research Scientists in the
field of Natural Language Processing in our Downtown San Francisco offices.
Scientists will work on projects spanning a variety of tasks including the
semantic interpretation of written and spoken medical reports, the design of
language models for a variety of NLP tasks and speech recognition, the
summarization of written and spoken language in the medical domain, the
incorporation of lexica, ontologies, relational databases, and other sources
of structured and unstructured knowledge sources into EMR.AI’s medical NLP
tool set, and others. 

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a cutting-edge R&D team in the
epicenter of the world’s AI tech industry with true impact on medical
research. 

Responsibilities 

- Process huge corpora of medical textual documents to perform syntactic and
semantic analyses and train, tune, and test probabilistic and other
data-driven models, using both existing tool benches, proprietary and
open-source, as well as self-developed algorithms and techniques.
- Produce high-quality programs and scripts to embed scientific algorithms
into effective prototypes and demos to be shared with EMR.AI’s leadership
team, its customers, partners, and vendors.
- Create and document technological innovations by means of patent
disclosures, scientific publications, media alerts, and other channels.
- Work closely with EMR.AI’s speech processing team and its software
engineering division to produce innovative and effective solutions for a range
of AI products and services in the medical domain.
- Represent the R&D division in communications with EMR.AI’s leadership team,
its customers, partners, and vendors at meetings, conventions, and other
venues as well as in written statements.

Skills 

PhD in computer science, computational linguistics, electrical engineering, or
a related field. Experience in the state of the art of NLP and its standard
tools is required. Candidates must be very skilled in programming and must
have a proven scientific track record.  They must be excellent team players,
including with distributed teams, and strong in oral and written English
communication. Knowledge of the US medical sector is desirable, so are
experience with start-ups and strong scientific connections throughout the Bay
Area and beyond. 

Benefits 

EMR.AI offers competitive salaries, an excellent benefit package, and a
stimulating work environment in the heart of San Francisco with manifold
local, domestic, and international commercial and academic partnerships.
