    POSITION SUMMARY:

    We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Research Scientist. We are looking for a highly motivated and passionate Machine Learning Research Scientist to join our team who has a strong background in machine learning with applications to computer vision and natural language processing.

     

    As a ML Research Scientist, you will be a part of the interdisciplinary group of fellow research scientists, post-docs, machine learning faculty, clinicians, and engineers.

     

    In close collaboration with your colleagues, you will engage with interdisciplinary research topics and develop machine learning solutions for a variety of complex and novel problems using large scale medical imaging datasets and datasets of other modalities.

     

    You will also have the freedom to explore novel ways in which machine learning can have a positive impact in the field of radiology. Leveraging your machine learning knowledge, you will also provide technical guidance to other clinical faculty and researchers to advance their respective projects.

     

    This is a unique opportunity to work in the interdisciplinary area of machine learning and healthcare as, in addition to developing novel models, you will also have an opportunity to deploy the models in real clinical workflows, enabling you to make a real-world impact by improving patient care.

     

    JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

    • Formulates and conducts research on problems of considerable scope and complexity.
    • Develops new ideas that promote current research. Exercises a high degree of creativity, foresight, and mature judgment in planning, organizing, and guiding extensive scientific research programs and activities of outstanding novelty and/or importance.
    • May manage the operations of a lab for the Principal Investigator by supervising Post Docs and technicians. Oversees the maintenance and upkeep of all instruments and laboratory facilities.
    • Ensures timely and accurate completion of research projects.
    • May provide students with technical guidance and direction in the operation of various sample preparation techniques, extraction lines, and equipment as well as general laboratory practices and safety protocols.
    • May seek grant funding from external sources in support of their independent research projects with consent of the PI and the Department Chair. May participate in writing grant proposals.
    • May be responsible research/lab quality control and compliance.
    • May develop protocol for the collection and quality of research data.
    • Develops research techniques and methodologies.
    • May determine and establish laboratory policies, procedures and practices.
    • Explores subject area and defines scope and selection of problems for investigation through conceptually related studies or series of projects of lesser scope.
    • Makes decisions and recommendations that have a major impact on extensive scientific research activities.
    • Maintains a thorough knowledge of the advances in specialized fields through attendance of scientific conferences.
    • May make significant contributions to scientific papers. Is a resource/ author/ co-author for reports and presentations.
    • May provide recommendations for equipment purchases and for the redesign of lab space.
    • May coordinate the activity and experimental design between various labs, scientific staff, and collaborators. Identifies and resolves technical problems.
    • May serve on internal committees to help further goals of research projects and bring new expertise to the research program.
    • Performs other related duties as assigned.
    • Initiates, interprets, organizes, executes, and coordinates research assignments critical to department's mission.

    ADDITIONAL POSITION SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES:

    Solve challenging clinical problems at the intersection of machine learning and medical imaging Explore novel ways in which machine learning can have a positive impact in the radiology pipeline, either by improving diagnostic accuracy or brining efficiency or through workflow optimization Work alongside fellow researchers and clinicians to develop scalable algorithms for problems in medical imaging based on state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, such as self-supervised learning, representation learning, and multi-modal learning Provide technical guidance to clinical faculty and students on their respective research projects Adapt machine learning and neural network algorithms and architectures to best exploit modern parallel environments, such as GPUs and distributed clusters Be a project leader responsible for creating project plans, meeting deadlines, and resolving technical problems Build strong cross-functional partnerships within the department and the institution to initiate novel research Create intellectual property by either publishing your research in top-tier venues or filling for patents or writing invention disclosures
