Research Associate in Medical Image Segmentation
Fixed term for 1 year
Grade 7: £32,236 - £39,609 p.a.
The “Segmentation of medical data from MRI scans” project, led by Dr. Irina Voiculescu of the Computational Biology and Health Informatics research group, and in collaboration with the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre (NOC), has a full-time vacancy for a creative and enthusiastic Research Associate. The project is about the clinical adoption of a medical image segmentation tool developed in the research group. The successful candidate will be seconding in a clinic at the NOC and using that experience in order to transfer the clinical requirements into the software.
The role involves implementing and improving on novel partitioning and segmentation algorithms, reorganising the code base in a robust way, implementing systematic methods for validating the software output, writing timely reports on the research, and performing demonstrations to clinicians and researchers at the NOC.
The primary selection criteria are a doctoral degree in a relevant numerate discipline (or close to completion) or an MSc plus relevant programming experience, strong C++ programming and code documentation skills, and previous experience of contributing to research. Experience of independently managing a discrete area of a research or software development project, or of actively collaborating in the development of research articles for publication is highly desirable.
Informal enquiries about the position can be made to Dr. Irina Voiculescu (irina@cs.ox.ac.uk) or 01865 283501.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 26th October 2018.
