LHNCBC provides opportunities for postdoctoral fellows, graduate and medical students, college students, and visiting faculty to participate in collaborative research in a variety of areas of medical informatics. Research activities involve both basic and applied informatics in several broad research areas. Knowledge-based research focuses on language and information processing, and expert systems. Information systems research includes consumer health informatics, database systems, digital library research, and medical education systems. Image-processing research includes image segmentation, compression, and transmission methods and algorithms. The Center is also the focal point for the NLM’s high performance computing activities, including research support for telemedicine and health applications of the Next Generation Internet. Postdoctoral candidates should have a Ph.D.. M.D. or equivalent degree with a background in research and training in medical informatics, computer science or engineering. Stipends for postdoctoral fellows begin at $46,469.
