As a PhD candidate, you'll collaborate with a dynamic, interdisciplinary team – including fellow CBM PhDs and Research Engineers – to develop and implement a clinician-friendly infrastructure for delivering CBM during inpatient care, and a seamless app-based experience for continued training post-discharge.
