Up to two postdoctoral positions are available to work on an NHRMC Development grant funded project to improve outcomes for cancer and/or cardiac disease patients using radiation therapy. The primary aim of this research is to develop real-time target tracking and/or dynamic imaging algorithms for implementation within radiotherapy and medical imaging.
Within our research program, you will perform grant funded research developing novel algorithms or building new dynamic imaging systems that account for patient motion (breathing, cardiac, etc.) during medical imaging and radiation therapy treatments.
At least one position will be offered to a researcher that has experience in deep learning and AI development and a willingness to apply these approaches in radiation therapy. The second position will be offered to a candidate with a desire to implement deep learning algorithms on clinical hardware (either developing new imaging hardware or implementing deep learning approaches on existing clinical systems).
Experience and interest in grant writing would be viewed favourably.
To Be Successful In This Position, You Will Have
- A PhD in a relevant field (e.g., Medical Physics, Radiation Therapy, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Science, Physics, etc).
- Emerging track record publishing in high quality journals (e.g., Medical Physics, IEEE, etc.).
- Experience presenting at high quality conferences (e.g., AAPM, MICCAI, ICCV, CVPR, etc.).
- Ability to build effective networks with colleagues through effective liaison with industry or hospital partners.
- Excellent interpersonal and communications skills appropriate for interacting with higher degree by research candidates, staff and industry, together with a strong commitment to teamwork and multidisciplinary collaboration.
