Job Description:
A research computer specialist position is available in the lab of Dr. Krishna Rao in the Department of Internal Medicine in the University of Michigan Medical School. Dr. Rao’s clinical, administrative, and research interests include the diagnosis and management of healthcare-associated infections, especially Clostridium difficile infection. His primary research goal is to investigate how biochemical, microbiological, and clinical factors can help clinical decision-making in healthcare-associated infections, and he hopes to ultimately integrate these factors into robust risk-prediction algorithms for use by clinicians. He is currently studying C. difficile infection, the effect of antibiotics on the gut microbiota, and infections from Gram-negative bacteria, including multi-drug resistant organisms, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae. A full bibliography and other details can be found at: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9213-7850. As the work in the lab is highly interdisciplinary, the applicant will have the opportunity to work with experts in health services research, clinical trials, computational biology, infectious diseases, and microbiology. Responsibilities: Under the supervision of the principle investigator, the primary duties of the applicant will be:
