Postdoctoral Research Associate

Postdoctoral Research Associate: AI Medical Imaging and Devices

About the Role 

We are in search of exceptional, self-driven postdoctoral research associates (PDRAs) to join a dedicated team in developing and testing a groundbreaking device for medical imaging and early cancer detection. The research remit will encompass: medical imaging, AI, device design, prototyping, and pre-clinical evaluation of diagnostic devices within hospital settings. A deep understanding and hands-on experience in AI, medical imaging, user-centred design, programming, and system integration within medical contexts are highly regarded. Dissemination of findings through publication is an essential aspect of these positions. 

The selected candidate will collaborate as part of a cohesive unit to: 1) Design, develop, and experimentally validate sensors and AI software for medical imaging, 2) Integrate pioneering and proven tools for the early cancer detection, and 3) Examine clinical workflows and validate the established systems in tandem with clinical partners. 

About You 

You will possess a PhD or be nearing completion in mechanical, electrical, or biomedical engineering, or a related discipline. You will have hands-on experience with programming, medical imaging, engineering designs, and system integration. Your track record will demonstrate proficiency in the design, fabrication, and pre-clinical testing of innovative devices.  

About the School  

The role will be situated at the School of Engineering & Materials Science, Queen Mary University of London. The appointee will collaborate closely with researchers in the Centre for Bioengineering, the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, as well as with NHS hospitals. Furthermore, the candidate will work hand in hand with clinical and industrial partners to ensure the translation of this research into clinical practice.
