Postdoctoral Positions at UNC-CH: Medical Image Analysis
Several postdoctoral positions in medical image analysis are available at the
IDEA Group of UNC-CH (https://www.med.unc.edu/bric/ideagroup). Our current
effort is to enhance understanding of the working mechanism of the brain via
diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging
(FMRI) by automatically mining information latent in images for the purposes of
growth and disease analyses. The positions will support our efforts in advancing
novel technologies for analyzing MR for applications in neuroscience. Possible
research topics include, but are not limited to, improving disease
classification by combining information from multiple modalities, white-matter
bundle segmentation/modeling, and structural/functional analysis of subject
groups involving infants, and patients with MCI/AD, schizophrenia, and multiple
sclerosis. We are seeking highly motivated individuals who have demonstrated
academic excellence, including publications in first-class journals and
conferences. Successful candidates should have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in
Computer Science, Applied Mathematics/Statistics, Electrical Engineering,
Biomedical Engineering, or related fields. Competence in programming beyond
MATLAB (good command of Linux, C/C++, Python, ITK, VTK, etc.) is essential.
Experience in neuroscience, medical image analysis, machine learning, and
mathematical modeling is highly desirable. The successful candidates will be
part of a diverse group including radiologists, psychologists, physicists,
biostatistician, and computer scientists, and will build upon the group's
extensive foundation on medical image analysis.
Applications should include a cover letter indicating the research area of
interest, a curriculum vitae, and the contact information of three
references.
