[visionlist] University of Pennsylvania, Postdoctoral Positions in Medical Image Analysis

[Kontos, Despina]

The Computational Breast Imaging Group (CBIG) of the Radiology
Department at the University of Pennsylvania has open postdoctoral
positions. 

CBIG is a research group within the Breast Imaging Division and the
Center for Biomedical Image Computing and Analytics with a mission to
act as a translational catalyst between computational imaging science
and breast cancer research. We are developing a research program
investigating the role of quantitative imaging as a biomarker for
guiding personalized breast cancer screening, prognosis, and treatment.
Work in our group focuses both on developing innovative methodology for
multimodality breast image analysis (e.g., segmentation, feature
extraction, pattern analysis, etc.) and also on incorporating such
methods into clinically relevant applications. 

Postdoctoral Position Qualifications:
We are seeking highly motivated individuals with excellent academic
track-record, including publications in peer-reviewed journals.
Successful candidates should have, or be in the process of completing, a
PhD (or equivalent) in Biomedical, Electrical or Computer Engineering,
Computer and Information Science, or related field, including
Bioinformatics and Biostatistics. Ideal applicants should have a
background on biomedical image analysis, computer vision, pattern
recognition and/or machine learning. Proficiency in quantitative
analytical methods and computer programming (e.g., Matlab, C/C++, ITK)
is essential. Experience with medical image analysis (e.g., MRI, CT,
Mammography, Ultrasound) or statistical methods and software packages
(e.g., SPSS) is desirable. Additional experience in Bioinformatics or
Biostatistics is a plus. Applicants should demonstrate excellent oral
and written communication skills, and the ability to work effectively
both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Successful applicants will join a vibrant collaborative research
environment, will work closely with clinical investigators, and will
gain a first-hand experience of our breast imaging program.
Collaborators include faculty in our Radiology department, the Abramson
Cancer Center, the Institute for the Translational Medicine and
Therapeutics, and the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and
Biostatistics.
