[visionlist] Machine learning related post-doctoral position at the UCSD Hamilton Glaucoma Center

[Chris Bowd]

Post-doctoral position available at the University of California, San Diego Hamilton Glaucoma Center:

We are seeking a post-doctoral candidate who is interested in developing and employing new machine learning-based techniques to predict and detect glaucomatous progression from information available in optical imaging (e.g., confocal scanning laser tomography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography) and visual field (e.g., standard and frequency doubling-technology perimetry) data. We have an available database of measurements from hundreds of patient eyes tested for up to 10 years on commercially available devices on which we can develop and test classification methods. Our department offers a strong working environment for machine learning research because of our alliance with UCSD Institute of Neural Computation faculty (Tzyy-Ping Jung, Ph.D.). The candidate also will have the opportunity to collaborate with other clinical research faculty in our group (Linda Zangwill, Ph.D., Felipe Medeiros, M.D., Ph.D., Madhusudhanan Balasubramanian, Ph.D.).

The ideal candidate should have a strong background (i.e., Ph.D.) in machine learning, medical informatics, bioinformatics, or a closely related field plus significant experience with Matlab. Strong statistical experience, strong writing skills, and history of productivity and independence are desirable. This research is NIH funded and salary will be set according to the NIH post-doctoral scale. Start date is flexible, but the sooner the better.
