Summary
The Department of Learning Health Sciences seeks to hire a Computable Biomedical Knowledge Specialist with a strong background in library and information science, biomedical research, and health informatics.
Our goal is to improve human health by organizing and expanding the use of computable (machine readable and executable) biomedical knowledge. We believe, as the IETF’s David Clark once put it, that “rough consensus and working code” can advance our cause.
For this reason, our Knowledge Grid R&D program (www.kgrid.org) uses qualitative and quantitative research methods combined with Agile software development to explore new computable knowledge forms, formats, and infrastructures and to test our ideas about the curation, management, and real-world use of computable biomedical knowledge.
Mission Statement
Michigan Medicine improves the health of patients, populations and communities through excellence in education, patient care, community service, research and technology development, and through leadership activities in Michigan, nationally and internationally. Our mission is guided by our Strategic Principles and has three critical components; patient care, education and research that together enhance our contribution to society.
Who We Are
The Knowledge Grid program is an ongoing departmental initiative in the Department of Learning Health Sciences. With ample faculty leadership and support, the Knowledge Grid program has completed its first major phase of research work which has led to an important conceptualization of computable biomedical knowledge artifacts as formalized first-class networked resources capable of being both served and processed by machines. Now we look forward to our program’s second phase, KGrid 2.0, with its emphasis on knowledge organization, good librarianship, and adding rich and useful metadata to computable biomedical knowledge artifacts to make them findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable
Our Impact
The University of Michigan Medical School Department of Learning Health Sciences (DLHS) is a first-in-the-nation basic science department focused on the sciences related to learning across multiple levels of scale (i.e. individual, group, organization, region, nation).

As part of its work, members of DLHS study sociotechnical infrastructures for learning health systems, including computable biomedical knowledge infrastructure.
