Postdoctoral Research Fellow in AI/ML for Musculoskeletal Imaging Data 80 – 100%
Duty
• Develop computational algorithms in both discriminative (Spatio-temporal image segmentation) and generative (synthetic CT/MRI generation) deep learning-based models in MSK imaging research.
• Imaging databases creation and curation.
• Design and implement protocols for efficient data transfer to the services running in the cloud.
• Supervision of undergraduate/graduate students.
• Publish and present scientific outcomes at Intl. conferences and high-impact journals.
• Maintain close collaboration with research and clinical partners.
Requirement
• This project calls for an enthusiastic and self-motivated early career researcher interested in working at the intersection of the computational and biomedical sciences. Candidates should have, or expect to soon obtain, a PhD in a relevant discipline and experience in computer vision/deep learning. They must also have strong mathematical and coding skills, and preferably some experience in open-source software development.
• We are looking to hire a medical imaging researcher at the post-doctoral level to expand our research. Funding is secured for the position through the end of 2024.
PhD in Computer Science, Mechanical/Biomedical Engineering, Medical Physics, or equivalent field.
• Experience with medical image analysis of multi-modal MSK imaging data:
o Experience with deformable image registration
o Background in building, optimizing and applying ML/DL algorithms for analysis of medical image datasets.
• Strong publication record.
• Excellent programming skills in Python and PyTorch including fundamental software engineering principles and machine learning design patterns. Preferred: Hands-on experience with the MONAI framework (https://monai.io/) and with cloud computing.
• Experience in a cloud computing environment such as Azure is a plus.
• Ability to work with others in an inter-disciplinary team.
• Based on your experience, you have a proven capability to drive research projects on your own – generate Grant funding.
Benefit
• The position is embedded in the Medical Directorate of the Balgrist University Hospital under the faculty of medicine of the University of Zurich, as part of the Research IT team in close collaboration with the Research in Orthopedic Computer Science group.
• Participate in the establishment of a digital platform integrated in the strong and versatile scientific network of the Digital Society Initiative of the University of Zurich.
• The PostDoc will be a member of the Digital Society Initiative community.
• Motivated employees with great commitment.
• Work location is in an attractive location in Zurich with very good public transport connections.
