This post is full time, 35 days per week and is fixed term until November 2025.
We are looking to recruit a Research Fellow to join the Research Centre for Optimal Health in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Westminster to work on a research project funded by a life science Company.
Our ongoing research project focuses on the development and application of novel image processing techniques (segmentation, registration, statistical shape modelling) to extensive collections of MRI data to create novel biomarkers.
The work will involve developing algorithms to investigate health using these biomarkers. In this role you will be responsible for applying quantitative biomarkers from the imaging and healthcare datasets, supporting our research and development effort, and contributing to scientific publications and the success of our projects.
The successful candidate must be highly motivated and have an advanced degree in computer science, electrical or biomedical engineering, physics, statistics, or related fields. Previous experience with research focusing on biomedical signal processing, medical image computing, and machine learning is advantageous but not required. Previous experience with magnetic resonance imaging is also preferred. The ideal candidate should have experience in computational and statistical programming languages. Experience with developing image-processing tools using the ITK/VTK environment or similar open-source software is a plus. Experience with distributed computing environments and cloud-based systems is also a plus.
