Postdoc: Medical Imaging AI & Foundation Models

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital; Memphis (TN); Presencial; USD 60.000 - 75.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to develop advanced ML/DL and foundational AI models for medical imaging, with a primary focus on radiology and biomedical informatics across CT, MRI, and X-ray.

You will work with large datasets, contribute to data curation, and pursue independent funding opportunities; collaborate with radiologists, clinicians, and engineering teams; position supports mentorship and a 2–3 year

Formación

• PhD or MD (or MD/PhD) in Computer Science, Data Science, Biomedical Engineering, Medicine, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience with segmentation, detection, and/or quantitative imaging algorithms (2D and/or 3D).
• Strong proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
• Experience with modern architectures (U-Net variants, detection frameworks, transformers, or foundational models).
• Demonstrated up-to-date knowledge of the AI research landscape, including foundation models/LLMs.

Responsabilidades

• Design and implement 2D and 3D model architectures for medical imaging problems.
• Apply and adapt large language models to biomedical and imaging-adjacent problems.
