Offer Description
What you will do

The field of health and life sciences is being revolutionized by ‘deep-tech’ applications. With the help of these advanced technologies, often combinations of novel sensing or processing hardware and artificial intelligence, deep tech is facilitating the discovery of new drugs, the development of precision medicine, and the acceleration of medical research. Imec is committed to making a difference in this domain by applying its extensive expertise to develop next-generation and highly specialized sensing technologies that offer an unseen look into the body and its individual components from organs to cells to proteins.  

While the unique hardware emerging from the imec deep-tech will generate large amounts of highly valuable data, the scale, resolution or frequency at which it must operate often results in noisy signals and data, which Imec is looking to interpret into valuable health insights.  

We are looking for a senior AI researcher to help us make sense of this novel data across a number of exciting hardware projects by developing advanced methods for noise reduction, feature extraction, classification and interpretation. You will join a capable team of data scientists, software engineers and life sciences engineers. 

• You will be responsible for data science and AI aspects in research projects in the context of Life Sciences and Health in strategic and novel hardware roadmaps. 
• You follow up on progress within research projects and are able to communicate the accomplished / in-process work to internal and external stakeholders and adapt where needed. 
• You work together with technical teams in implementing the data science and AI output of your projects into a working whole.
