Postdoctoral Fellowship-Machine Learning & Health Analytics in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Connecticut

About University of Connecticut:

The University of Connecticut (UConn) was founded in 1881, and is ranked within the Top 20 Public Universities and within Top 60 National Universities in the United States and is amongst the elite institutions designated as “highest research activity” by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. UConn is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and is a research-intensive university, a prestigious designation shared by only the nation's top higher education institutions, with more than 70 focused research centers where faculty, graduate students and undergraduates explore everything from improving human health to enhancing public education and protecting the country’s natural resources. Over the past two decades, UConn and the State of Connecticut have invested heavily in building STEM programs to meet next generation workforce needs. Over $2.8B has supported capital projects to advance UConn’s teaching and research. In 2013, the State committed an additional $1.7B through Next Generation Connecticut to further support infrastructure development and the hiring of 200 new faculty members. In addition, UConn Technology Park and the new $172M Innovation Partnership Building offer resources that support basic research and technology translation. The primary 4,400-acre (17.8 km2) campus at Storrs is approximately a half hour's drive from Hartford and in between Boston and New York City with an hour and half drive from each.
