Offer Description
The OPTIMA lab (https://optima.meduniwien.ac.at ) is offering a PhD position in the domain of Machine Learning for Medical Imaging with applications in eye care. As part of our initiative on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Retina, the focus of the research is on building robust, reliable, and interpretable characterization of retinal pathology from 3D optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of the human eye to enable Trustworthy AI-based clinical decision support tools for retinal experts.
Research topics will be in one of the following areas: Self-supervised learning and foundation models, Uncertainty quantification and Bayesian deep learning, and Domain adaptation. The successful candidate will be immersed in an interdisciplinary environment working closely with a team of computer scientists, software engineers, and medical doctors in the fascinating field of AI in Retina. The output will have a real-world impact on the clinical management of patients suffering from retinal diseases, a leading cause of blindness today.
