Department Overview

The objective of this position is to develop advanced imaging processing tools (including deeplearning-based approaches) which help clinical scientists conduct research in the diagnosis andmanagement of retinal diseases using advanced imaging technologies such as optical coherencetomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA). This requires maintaining current knowledge of the pertinent literature, signal/image processing development to illuminate specific research questions. A significant percent effort will be placed on developing novel data processing toolkits,validating developed image processing software with clinical fellows, preparing patent disclosure,writing and preparing presentations and manuscripts. Additionally, a portion of the effort will bededicated to training junior data scientist, providing deep learning and digital processing expertise toguide junior fellow, and taking a leading role in communication on OCT and OCTA grading projects. Pay Range: $99,340.80 - $151,476 annually (Commensurate with qualifications, experience and internal equity) Function/Duties of Position
