Postdoctoral Scholar in Deep Learning & Medical Imaging Position | University of California Irvine - Military Veterans

University of California Irvine Postdoctoral Scholar in Deep Learning & Medical Imaging Position The computational medicine lab led by Dr. Pratik Shah at UCI invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar position from outstanding Ph.D., MD or foreign equivalent applicants with strong academic computer science and informatics research backgrounds. The lab is interested in developing novel AI-based medical imaging technology for digital biopsies. Recent research studies were published in Cell Reports Methods, Nature Digital Medicine, Cell press, IEEE machine learning conferences, Journal of American Medical Association, and Proceedings of National Academies of Science Engineering and Medicine workshops. Visit our websites for more information about the lab: https://faculty.sites.uci.edu/pratikshahlab/ ; https://www.pratiks.info/publications/all/ Applicants experienced in solving critical challenges in medical data validation methods, training AI models for enabling diagnostic tests, their replicability, and proof of their clinical utility will be given preference. The scholar will be trained to develop and interpret generative deep neural networks (DNNs) for automating tissue-based analyses, interrogating basic biological features and proximity relationships between tissue constituents for digital biopsies. Responsibilities include managing, processing and visualizing high-parameter medical images (e.g., pathology, MRI, CT, RGB etc.), associated clinical labels, and molecular profiles for training, validation, and interpretations of interpretable DNNs. Opportunities to publish in leading biomedical journals and machine learning conferences, networking with government funding agencies, industry partners, foundations, and academic experts. Training in fellowship writing, teaching/mentoring, oral presentations and review of manuscripts will be provided. Substantive inquiries about the position should be directed to: Pratik Shah PhD Assistant Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine UC Irvine, School of Medicine pratik.shah@uci.edu Interested candidates should complete the application profile and provide a CV, cover letter including career motivation and why you are interested in joining the lab and an Inclusive Excellence Activities Statement.
