Offer Description
The Research Center for Medical Image Analysis and Artificial Intelligence (MIAAI) at Danube Private University, led by Ramona Woitek, Univ.-Prof. Dr. was founded in 2022. It currently comprises multiple multidisciplinary researchers focusing on the computer-based analysis of radiological and histological images. Their work includes applying machine learning and artificial intelligence for tasks such as predicting treatment responses in different types of cancers and automated image segmentation.
This position is offered within the framework of a WWTF (Vienna Science and Technology Fund)-funded project, entitled “LymphoidStructureMiner: AI-based exploration of the immunological contexture of lymphoid structures in translational research”. The project is a joint effort between the Medical University of Vienna, with Diana Mechtcheriakova, Assoc.-Prof. Priv. Doz. Dr. Dipl.-Ing. (Principal Investigator), Anastasia Meshcheryakova, PhD (Co-Principal Investigator), and Danube Private University, with Amirreza Mahbod, Ass. Prof. MSc MSc PhD (Co-Principal Investigator). The position offers the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary team that includes experts from biology, medicine, and computer science in one of the most trending fields of medical image analysis.
The successful postdoctoral candidate will conduct the research at MIAAI at Danube Private University under the main supervision of Amirreza Mahbod, Ass. Prof. MSc MSc PhD in close collaboration with the research group “Molecular Systems Biology and Pathophysiology” led by Diana Mechtcheriakova, Assoc.-Prof. Priv. Doz. Dr. Dipl.-Ing.
Job Duties:
Developing robust, accurate, and novel deep learning-based algorithms for segmentation and classification at nuclei-based, patch-based, and whole slide image levels in histological images.
Where applicable, producing interpretable deep learning-based algorithms.
