Research Associate in Cardiac Image Analysis

About the role

We are looking to appoint a Research Associate in Cardiac Image Analysis to analyse cardiac MRI datasets in a national multi-centre study. This multidisciplinary collaboration will integrate imaging, clinical and genetic data to better understand mechanisms of disease and improve patient stratification.

What you would be doing

You will lead on developing innovative approaches for robust segmentation and motion
tracking of cardiac MRI datasets across diverse populations. The role will involve curating the data, developing analysis pipelines, and working on approaches to model the results. The work will be at the intersection of computer vision and data science in translation medicine. The post holder will also use 3D+time digital models of the heart for classification, association and prediction tasks. You will work closely with a diverse group of clinicians, geneticists and computer scientists to achieve these goals.

What we are looking for

• A PhD in computer science or a closely related discipline relevant to medical image
  analysis
• Experience of cardiac/medical image segmentation, shape modelling and motion
  analysis
• Strong interest in understanding the drivers of cardiovascular disease
• A solid understanding of data science approaches including deep learning prediction and classification models.

What we can offer you
