Position: The University of British Columbia (UBC) and BC Cancer Research Institute (BCCRI) are seeking a talented post-doctoral fellow to join us in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The research will take place in the Quantitative Radiomolecular Imaging & Therapy lab (Qurit.ca) with the guidance and support of Drs. Arman Rahmim, Carlos Uribe, and other members of the lab. The fellow will collaborate with various researchers, clinicians and imaging experts from UBC, BCCRI, and our international institutional and industry partners. The fellow will work within our multidisciplinary team (medical physicists, engineers, computer scientists, nuclear medicine physicians, …) towards the overall aim of enabling translational and physician-in-the-loop AI for medical imaging.
Our research team is multicultural and diverse, and provides unique opportunities for our trainees and researchers to freely explore creative ideas in supportive environments. The clinical infrastructures include multiple imaging scanners, including a long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET/CT scanner, and aims to push the limits of modern technology. Moreover, the close connection with the clinical environment allows for translation of novel methods to our cancer clinics in Canada (Vancouver, Victoria, and Kelowna) and beyond.
Requirements: The ideal candidate will have a PhD in medical physics, computer science, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, or a related field. Significant experience and publication on AI and image processing is a requirement. Experience with foundation models, explainable AI and/or efforts to translate AI to routine use are emphasized. The candidate should be highly motivated with a strong interest and commitment to research. Curiosity and creativity with an aim towards independent research as well as excellent communication skills are also emphasized.
