Job description
Our Computational Pathology Group at Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen (Netherlands) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher. You will work in a project funded by the Gates Foundation, in which we will develop, validate and implement analysis models based on artificial intelligence to assess safety of Oral Polio Vaccines. The study will be carried out in collaboration with partners in Indonesia and the USA.
Tasks and responsibilities
This position involves a detailed analysis of the requirements, planning and development of artificial intelligence models using state-of-the-art architectures, and model validation and implementation. As a postdoc, you will also be responsible for project coordination, communication with collaborators, and possibly managing the data acquisition and storage pipelines.
It is possible to work partly from home, but we require all our team members to be on site at least 2 days per week.
Profile
You should be a creative and enthusiastic researcher with a PhD degree in a relevant field, such as medical image analysis, computer vision, or machine learning. You should have a clear interest in developing image analysis algorithms and an affinity with medical topics.
