Postdoctoral position in medical AI

We are reqruiting a full time post-doc to the department och diagnostics and intervention for a period of 2 years to work in a multi-professional international team with automatization of radiotherapy treatment planning.

Description of the project

The project aims to develop methods for automated dose planning in radiotherapy with the goal of enabling fully adaptive radiotherapy. The work is based on deep learning, where models are trained on generated or clinical data. The project is carried out in interdisciplinary collaboration with several senior researchers, doctoral students, and in close cooperation with a research group in Vienna.

As a postdoctoral researcher you will work with data management and deep learning.
Other administrative duties may also be included.

Eligibility

A person who has been awarded a doctorate or a foreign qualification deemed to be the equivalent of a doctorate in mathematics or computer science or comparible is eligible for appointment as postdoctoral researcher. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time at which the appointment decision is made.
