Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering Translational Imaging Group (TIG) / Centre for Medical Image Computing (CMIC)
Full Time:
The appointment will be on UCL Grade 7. The salary range will be Grade 7 (£34,056 - £41,163 per annum); Grade 8 (£42,304 - £49,904 per annum), inclusive of London Allowance.
This is an exciting opportunity for a researcher with skills in bio-mechanical modelling and software development to join an internationally leading university research group. The aim of the project is to have an active role in the development, integration and translation of a novel platform for fetal surgery.
We are seeking a post-doctoral research associate to work on developing bio-mechanical modelling techniques to build active fetus and mother-specific models that are required for surgical planning, and guidance during fetal intervention. The candidate will develop techniques for embedding physiological motion patterns into static computational models in order to plan the optimal port placement for surgical tools and their interaction with the fetus and surrounding anatomy. The candidate will also be in charge of integrating the developed algorithms into our surgery-planning platform.
This post is available for two years in the first instance.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in computer vision, medical image computing, biomedical engineering, or a comparable subject. Strong expertise in programming high-level languages (e.g. C/C++, Matlab) as well as expertise in working with either magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound are essential.
Experience in large-scale software development, for example: used in clinical trials, surgical systems, etc. is desirable.
To be considered for appointment as Senior Research Associate (Grade 8) candidates must have experience of leading a team of researchers and evidence of being invited to speak at international conferences.
