Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary - MEI, Boston, Massachusetts, us, 02298
Postdoctoral Fellow in Deep Learning
We have an open position for a computer science/machine-learning postdoctoral fellow to work on machine-learning algorithms for automatic diagnosis of dystonia, prediction of the risk for dystonia development, and the efficacy of treatment outcomes. This work will be directly related to the extension of our recently developed DystoniaNet platform and will include brain MRI datasets from patients with dystonia, other movement disorders, and healthy individuals.
The postdoctoral fellow will be part of a multidisciplinary team of neuroscientists, neurologists, laryngologists, and geneticists at Mass Eye and Ear and Mass General Hospital and work at the intersection on the development, testing and implementation of DystoniaNet in the clinical setting. This position is best suited for an individual with a broad computer science background interested in understanding and examining critical clinical problems and developing research solutions for their translation to healthcare. The fellow will be highly competitive to pursue future opportunities in either academia or industry (pharma and biotech).
Responsibilities
Experimental data collection and processing
Development and refinement of deep learning and other benchmark algorithms for predictive classification of dystonia and other related disorders
Clinical translation and implementation of the developed algorithms and interactions with clinicians for their testing
Establishment of new and fostering of existing collaborations
Participation in the regulatory aspects of clinical translation and patenting
Presentation of the results at the scientific meetings and publication of journal articles
Mentoring junior staff
Qualifications and Skills
PhD or an equivalent degree in computer science, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or related fields
Broad proficiency and experience with supervised and unsupervised machine‑learning methods, expertise in building neural network architectures
Experience with neuroimaging data processing
Advanced programming skills (Python and/or Matlab), including deep learning packages (e.g., TensorFlow or Keras)
Knowledge and experience with cloud‑based computational platforms (e.g., AWS)
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Strong publication record and academic credentials
Ability to work effectively both independently and in collaboration with multiple investigators
