About Sarah Lawrence College

Basic information and contact details for Sarah Lawrence College

institution

Sarah Lawrence College is a private, coeducation liberal arts college located in the city of Yonkers, around 25km north of central Manhattan and its innovative approach to education allows students to design their own course of study, a feature that puts it among the most prestigious liberal arts colleges in the state.

Real-estate magnate William Van Duzer Lawrence, who named it after his late wife, Sarah Bates Lawrence, established the college in 1926. It was built with the intention of providing education of women in a similar style to Oxford University in the UK, where students receive intensive instruction from a diverse range of faculty members.

Despite discussions in the 1960s about merging with Princeton University, the college remained an independent institution and became coeducational in 1968.

There are 12 programs of graduate study, while most students are able to create their own programs of study tailored to their own specific goals. The university also offers a range of study abroad options, allowing students to travel to cities including Havana, Beijing, Paris, London, and Tokyo to pursue their studies.

Notable former students include author Ann Patchett, whose novels include Bel Canto and Taft, as well as director J.J. Abrams, who counts the Mission Impossible franchise, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and TV series Lost among his famous works.

Other famous faces who studied at Sarah Lawrence College include Yoko Ono, Vera Wang, actress Julianna Margulies and Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel.

The FaceMatch project (facematch.org.au) is a Genomic Mission MRFF funded study. This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of genomics, data science, and clinical research, with the potential to directly improve diagnostic outcomes and early intervention for children and families. Core responsibilities Coordinate the design, implementation, and evaluation of AI-enabled facial image analysis within a large-scale longitudinal child health study, supporting the development of a screening model to triage children with features suggestive of a genetic syndrome for early developmental assessment and genetic testing. Manage the development of a national phenotyping and genomic data resource, integrating facial features with genomic and diagnostic information from individuals with intellectual disability, both diagnosed and undiagnosed. Lead the design, implementation, and evaluation of AI-enhanced facial image analysis to support variant interpretation and novel gene discovery in children with syndromic intellectual disability who remain undiagnosed following exome sequencing. Foster national collaboration through secure and ethical data-sharing practices with clinicians, researchers, and health consumer communities. Contribute to knowledge translation and dissemination through publications, presentations, and engagement with consumer groups. To be successful in this role, you will have: Expertise: Completed a doctoral qualification in computer vision, machine learning, digital health or a related area with strong programming skills. High-Quality Research: Demonstrated record of publication or non-traditional research output in high-quality outlets, including evidence of international and national research collaborations and/or partnerships in the areas of computer vision, machine learning, and health data analytics. National Recognition: Demonstrated recent ability to achieve national recognition in their discipline and to take a chief investigator role (often in conjunction with more experienced researchers) in applications for external research funds. Supervision: Skills in active supervision of honours, master's and/or Higher Degree by Research postgraduate research projects.

For the full list of essential and desirable selection criteria, please review the Position Description. If you’re ready to join a university that’s committed to equity and excellence, and to contribute to a community that values your expertise and vision, we encourage you to apply. About FaceMatch Intellectual disability is one of the greatest unmet challenges in healthcare, affecting 1 in 200 children. While most moderate to severe cases are caused by single-gene variants, more than half of affected individuals remain undiagnosed despite advances in genetic testing. A timely molecular diagnosis is critical—not only to guide management, reduce unnecessary investigations, and enable access to clinical trials, but also to give families clarity, reduce isolation, and support reproductive decision-making. Facial features often hold important clues to the underlying genetic cause of intellectual disability. The FaceMatch platform is a world-first, award-winning initiative, co-designed with clinicians, researchers, and families, to improve diagnostic accuracy and discover new genes. Unlike other tools, FaceMatch allows parents to contribute images across the age spectrum, making it uniquely suited to clinical practice and large-scale research. Using AI-enhanced facial analysis, this project aims to: Develop an early screening model to identify children at risk of developmental delay and enable timely intervention. Enhance interpretation of uncertain genetic variants and accelerate novel gene discovery. Build a national resource that fosters collaboration between clinicians, researchers, and families. This project will directly advance precision medicine for children with syndromic intellectual disability, with profound benefits for families and the healthcare system.
