An Imaging Science Research Associate is required for a European Union Framework Seven project: Adapting Breast Cancer Screening Strategy Using Personalised Risk Estimation (ASSURE). This is a collaborative project involving leading imaging scientists, clinicians, clinical scientists, health economists, and statisticians from five European countries.
This position will offer the post-holder exciting opportunities to develop their research skills, apply them to this high profile project, and work with leading researchers across Europe.
You will develop and evaluate methods for characterising X-ray mammograms, in particular the location and pattern of radio-opaque ('dense') tissue; extend and develop models of individual breast cancer risk to include spatial and temporal density information and evaluate the work by means of systematic experimentation
The project has a significant computational element and will be particularly appropriate for candidates with a strong mathematical background and a PhD degree or equivalent in biomedical image analysis.
