Nature of Work

The University of Colorado Cancer Center and Center for Health Artificial Intelligence seek a Training and Education Coordinator to organize, coordinate, and provide training and education opportunities in data intensive science and research at the Anschutz Medical Campus.

The Coordinator will act as the “educational multiplier” of the efforts of the newly established Center for Health AI and the Cancer Center Associate Director for Informatics and Data Science. The expected outcome is a more transparent landscape of training that meets the needs of the learner where he/she is and challenges learners at all career levels. The Coordinator will partner with academic programs and Center for Health AI faculty to realize new sources of funding through grants, philanthropy, and innovation. Our ideal candidate has experience with various training methods and environments, including on-the-job coaching and “office-hours”, mentorship programs and e-learning.
