DESCRIPTION
Biomedical Informatics is an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of biology, medicine, and quantitative sciences. Biomedical informatics researchers develop new methods to integrate and analyze vast amounts of data generated in the laboratory, clinical and translational research, clinical encounters, and population studies.
The goals of the Department of Biomedical Informatics are to (1) promote excellence in biomedical informatics research, (2) collaborate with biomedical researchers in developing new quantitative methods that enable the formulation and testing of original hypotheses, (3) train the next generation of biomedical informatics specialists, and (4) interface with engineering, mathematics, information and computer science communities, serving as a hub for quantitative scientists focused on biomedical research.
This department leads multiple federally and non-profit funded biomedical research projects, which are focused on the integration, analysis, and sharing of biomedical and health care data for the scientific community, as well as patient-centered research. In addition, the department runs a complex computational infrastructure that allows access and analysis of these data in a privacy-preserving manner.
Under the general supervision of the DBMI faculty member, the Research Program Manager will primarily be responsible for work direction, execution, coordination, and management of research and intervention studies related to family behavior routine, child obesity prevention, mobile health, sensor-based technology, outreach to Latino communities, and human-computer interaction. Responsibilities include research project coordination, project communications, execution of research studies including data collection and analysis, write up for publication, and mentoring research volunteers who are undergraduate and graduate students. Make significant contributions toward report development and data review to present results to PI and study sponsors and collaborators. We expect regular communication with program stakeholders and with research teams at project sites.

The 3rd ACM Workshop on Wearable Systems and Applications (WearSys) will be held at the beautiful Niagara Falls (USA) on 19th June 2017.
We invite submissions in the form of papers (6pg limit) or posters/demos (2pg limit) until a deadline of 21 March 2017.
This year we are privileged and happy to have Prof. Santosh Kumar, Director of NIH Center of Excellence for Mobile Sensor Data-to-Knowledge (MD2K), Univ of Memphis, USA to give a keynote at WearSys. The program will also include talks from scholars and experts from diverse areas.
The goal of this workshop is to diversify across disciplines. We hope that this workshops also attracts audience from the health and medical community thus providing complementary knowledge to the mobile and wearables community in computer science and engineering. We hence strongly encourage submissions from the medical domain as well.
The call for submissions is copied below. Looking forward to your submissions.
