Would you like to play a leading role at the Institute for Prediction Technology? Now is your chance!
The UC Institute for Prediction Technology is a research Institute study on how to solve real-world problems at the intersection of psychology, public health/medicine, and technology. It bridges together researchers across University of California campuses to study how social data from social media, wearable devices, and online technologies can be used to predict real-world events in areas like health and medicine, politics, crime, education, and finance. While our work is broadly focused, most of our day-to-day work is with the UCLA Center for Digital Behavior in the UCLA Department of Family Medicine where we study technologies for health and medicine. The incumbent will be responsible for assisting the PI with development and securing of relationships and funding through community and corporate partnerships. They will therefore need to be a social person who has a grasp of day-to-day research being conducted at the Institute. They will also receive guidance from the PI on how to write briefs to further the Institutes's mission. The day-to-day activities will involve communication with potential research, community, and corporate partners. They will be involved in arranging meetings and presentations for the PI to present to the partners in order to further the goals of the Institute.
