The purpose of this translational project is to demonstrate the feasibility, robustness, and clinical value of automated image analysis approaches on a large database of routine clinical brain imaging. This position specifically aims at developing a fully automated anomaly detection and triage system for clinical magnetic resonance brain imaging. The successful applicant will also bridge the gap between algorithm developers and end users, enhancing the translation to clinical practice. Additional duties will involve the integration of the developed system into the in-house NifTK software platform and the deployment of a scalable image analysis platform aiming at facilitating ‘big data’ approaches to major neurological disorders.
This post is funded for 3 years in the first instance by the Wellcome Trust.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in Computer Science, Medical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a related subject or equivalent industry experience and be able to demonstrate good mathematical, algorithmic and software development skills. They should also demonstrate experience in C/C++ programming and python. Knowledge and experience in high-performance computing platforms and ‘Big-data’ is highly advantageous.
In order to be considered for a grade 8 the successful candidate will have significant experience in the field as well as experience of co-supervising PhD students.
