Postdoctoral Researcher – Medical image analysis, Department of Medical
Physics, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, USA
The Department of Medical Physics at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is
looking for a full-time, postdoctoral researcher with expertise in computer vision
and medical image analysis. The position involves clinical and experimental
research in developing advanced visualization and image segmentation methods
for use by radiation oncologists applied to radiation therapy treatment planning.
MSKCC has an active research program to develop imaging applications that can
inform and improve radiation oncology treatment decisions. This is a full-time
one-year appointment that will be extended to two years contingent upon
successful performance. Selected candidates will have an option to enroll in a
two year MSKCC CAMPEP Accredited Residency Program in either Therapeutic
Medical Physics or Diagnostic Medical Physics following the completion of the
postdoctoral research fellowship. Admission to the residency program is
contingent on satisfactory completion of all aspects of postdoctoral research and
an appropriate background in advanced physics.
The ideal candidate should have expert knowledge of computer vision, pattern
recognition and image processing. A strong proficiency in C++, Python, ITK and
visualization tools including VTK is highly desirable. Matlab programming and
some knowledge of machine learning is a plus. The research will focus on
developing user-friendly visualization tools for image segmentation and
uncertainty in segmentation to be used by radiation oncologists. The candidate
will work closely with medical physics and radiation oncologists in developing the
methods applied to head and neck cancers.
The Department of Medical Physics consists of over forty faculty physicists plus
support staff working on various physical problems related to diagnosis and
therapy for cancer. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is located on the
Upper East Side of Manhattan, and is recognized as a world leader in clinical
cancer care and research.
Interested candidates should send a resume and list of three references by email to Dr. Lawrence Rothenberg (rothenbl@mskcc.org):
