We are seeking exceptionally motivated postdocs to strengthen our interdisciplinary team working on machine learning for medical image analysis. As part of our new initiative on Artificial Intelligence in Retina you will be leading exciting projects, at the interface of machine learning and medicine (see our recent review paper). The focus of the research is on automated characterization of retinal pathology from 3D optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of human retina, and on learning to predict patient-specific disease progression from a very large-scale curated imaging data and electronic health records. The goal is to enable an effective AI-based clinical decision support for retinal specialist, in a close collaboration with a leading OCT device manufacturer.
The successful candidate will be immersed into an interdisciplinary environment working closely with a team of computer scientists, software engineers and medical doctors. Advancements will have a real world impact on clinical management of patients suffering from retinal diseases, a leading cause of blindness today
