Position title: Postdoctoral Research Officer - Bioinformatics & Cellular Genomics

Employer: St Vincent's Institute of Medical Research

Closing date: 2020-08-31

Brief position description: We are seeking a motivated and successful postdoctoral Researcher to work on an independent project in machine learning for clinical image data. This role will help develop new deep learning methods and software to transform population screening for breast cancer. You will implement, train, test and deploy machine learning models to detect breast cancer from mammogram images and develop model interpretation strategies that describe why a prediction was made. Working in close collaboration with colleagues at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne, the University of Melbourne and the University of Adelaide, you will have the opportunity to provide computational expertise on experimental design and data analysis, and will have project-wide responsibility across the breast cancer screening project. You will have access to a proprietary database of over 200,000 high-quality, annotated clinical images from BreastScreen Victoria that have never before been used to train machine learning models. You will identify opportunities to customise more efficient workflows and methods where warranted and lead prospective studies to test, in a clinical setting, the real-world performance of the models you develop.
