Research Laboratory Manager - Windreich Department of AI & Human Health

The Glicksberg Lab builds AI systems that learn from real-world patient data to advance personalized medicine. Our team develops and evaluates methods in representation learning, generative AI, and graph models across diverse multimodal and multi-omic sources—including electronic health records and clinical notes, labs and genomics, physiological waveforms, medical imaging, and video. Applications span risk prediction and early detection, automated phenotyping, treatment effect modeling, and drug or target discovery.

Our work is translational: we collaborate closely with clinicians, validate models rigorously (retrospective → prospective), and emphasize reliability, fairness, robustness, and reproducibility. Team members develop robust data pipelines, analyze large cohorts, and help turn state-of-the-art machine learning into tools that improve patient care.

The Research Laboratory Manager provides operational oversight of the assigned basic science research laboratory. S/he ensures the environment and equipment are safe, compliant and effective. Manages all equipment, shared across areas or in a single area, including microscopes, cell sorters, mass spectrometry units, etc. Ensures all equipment is well maintained, with development and implementation of systems designed for tracking maintenance, and training staff in proper usage. This individual acts as liaison to other Mount Sinai departments, including Facilities, Engineering and Bio/Radiation Safety. Produces summary reports and databases that reflect inventory of all faculty, staff and equipment in the laboratory.

The Operations Manager will report directly to Dr. Benjamin Glicksberg and work closely with lab members, collaborators, and institutional partners. This role will be central to ensuring the efficient day-to-day functioning of the lab and supporting its long-term growth.
