The Center for Biomedical Imaging and the Center for Advanced Imaging Innovation & Research (CAI2R) at NYU Langone Health are looking for a highly motivated Research Engineer to join our interdisciplinary group and help us build infrastructure for research on deep learning for medical image analysis. The engineer will support ongoing research and development of machine learning methods for medical imaging applications, such as ML methods for accelerated MRI [1, 2, 3], breast cancer detection [4, 5, 6] and musculoskeletal [7] and brain image [8,9,10] analysis.
*Requirements include:* - Passion for engineering and research. - Dedication and attention to detail. - Ability to work in large interdisciplinary teams. - BS in computer science, mathematics, physics, electrical engineering or a related discipline. MS or PhD is a plus. - Expert skills in Python. Skills in PyTorch or Tensorflow are a plus. - Good skills in using Linux and tools such as git and Docker. - Practical basic knowledge of machine learning. Advanced knowledge of machine learning, especially deep learning, is a plus. - Experience in working with medical imaging data is a plus. *Responsibilities will include:* - Extraction and curation of imaging data set across different applications. - Implementation of machine learning training and validation pipelines. - Implementation of baseline deep learning models. - Building novel deep learning models tailored to medical image analysis. *Timeline, Salary, and Benefits* Please apply no later than 3/31/2021. We expect the appointed candidate to start during the summer or fall 2021. The initial appointment will be for a year, with an intention to renew further, depending on mutual agreement. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package. We welcome both domestic and international applicants. *To Apply* Please send your application (CV and a short motivation letter) to Yvonne Lui (yvonne....@nyulangone.org <yvonne....@nyulangone.org>) and Krzysztof Geras (k.j.ge...@nyu.edu). Please use the string “[machine learning research engineer 2021]” as the subject of the email. *About Us* The Center for Advanced Imaging Innovation & Research (CAI2R), located in midtown Manhattan, is operated by the research arm of the radiology department of NYU Langone Health. The research division comprises approximately 130 full-time personnel dedicated to imaging research, development, and clinical translation. We are a highly collaborative group and work in interdisciplinary, matrixed teams that include engineers, scientists, clinicians, technologists, and industry experts. We encourage collaboration across research groups to promote creativity and nurture an environment conducive to breakthrough innovations at the forefront of biomedical research. We have access to datasets of massive sizes and computational clusters with over 300 cutting edge GPUs.
