Postdoc - machine learning for medical imaging in Oncology and Hematology

Our lab for Translational Cancer-Imaging leads multiple studies in which AI techniques are translated into decision support systems for precision care in Oncology and Hematology. In short: how to get the right treatment to the right patient at the right time.

Your objective will be to explore new AI techniques to analyze CT, MRI, and PET/CT images for this goal, translate Explainable Artificial Intelligence approaches into trustworthy applications that provide insight into the reasoning of these systems, provide machine-learning support to PhD students across several research projects, and to deploy promising research results into prototype applications that allow further testing in a clinical environment.

Projects are strongly multi-disciplinary with collaborations between the Image Sciences Institute, Radiology and Nuclear medicine, Hematology, Surgery and Medical Oncology at the UMC Utrecht. In addition, projects connect to multiple other cancer centers throughout the Netherlands.

Hier ga je werken

This research will be conducted at the Image Sciences Institute, housed within the Imaging and Oncology Division of the University Medical Center Utrecht. The division is internationally recognized for its research on image acquisition, image analysis, artificial intelligence, and image-guided interventions, and has one of the largest concentrations of medical imaging researchers in Europe. You will work alongside staff from medical-image analysis, radiologists, hematologists, surgeons and medical oncologists as well as a team of PhD students.

Dit neem je mee

• You hold a PhD degree in physics, medical imaging, biomedical image sciences, or a related discipline within the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) domain, with experience in (medical) image processing, machine learning and coding, preferably in Python.
• Knowledge of pattern recognition and multivariable statistics is an asset, as well as affinity in algorithm deployment.
• You are a creative analytical person with a multidisciplinary mindset, who enjoys approaching problems from new perspectives.
