We are seeking a talented researcher to join our team at the Research Centre for Optimal Health. As part of our ongoing research project, you will focus on developing and applying cutting-edge image processing techniques to extensive collections of medical images, resulting in the creation of novel biomarkers. Your work will drive analyses to explore age-related and health-related outcomes using quantitative biomarkers derived from imaging and healthcare datasets. In this role, you will contribute to our research and development efforts, and take a lead role in writing scientific papers. Join us in advancing healthcare through innovative research!
As part of our exciting research project, you will focus on biomedical data analysis, medical image computing, and machine learning. While previous experience in these areas is advantageous, it is not essential. Familiarity with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is preferred. The ideal candidate will hold a PhD in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, Bioengineering, Biology, Data Science, Statistics) and possess strong coding skills in R or Python. Proficiency in handling large datasets and understanding programming processes and best practices for data analysis is essential. Experience with biomedical image processing, machine learning, high-performance computing environments, statistical analysis, and data science techniques is desirable. Knowledge of human physiology and anatomy is a plus. Familiarity with Linux systems and Git/GitHub is also beneficial.
The candidate will be expected to communicate the results derived from data analysis, leading and contributing to research reports and papers intended for publication in scientific journals and have a strong willingness to learn and adapt to new challenges.
Our research team follows a hybrid work structure where employees can work remotely or from the office, as needed, based on specific tasks or personal preferences.
