at  Washington University in St Louis

POSITION SUMMARY

The Washington University School of Medicine, Department of Radiation Oncology has an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Computational Radiotherapy Lab (CORAL) led by Dr. Geoff Hugo in the Division of Medical Physics. CORAL focuses on safe and high quality use of artificial intelligence in radiation oncology.
The successful candidate should be interested in developing and applying innovative quality assurance tools to support artificial intelligence implementation. Projects will include the use of magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and other imaging modalities for guiding radiation therapy, the use of artificial intelligence-based automated segmentation and synthetic CT generation, and workflow development for deploying quality assurance of clinical artificial intelligence systems.
The successful candidate should possess a strong background in computational image analysis and scientific programming. Experience with deep learning and other supervised learning approaches is desired. Individuals interested in pursuing an academic research career or a career in medical physics are encouraged to apply. Training opportunities in preparation for a medical physics residency, including a CAMPEP-accredited post-graduate certificate program in medical physics, are available in the department for qualified and interested candidates.
Consistent with its academic mission and standards, the Washington University School of Medicine is committed to achieving excellence through diversity. As a community of faculty, staff and students engaged in research, patient care, scholarship, teaching and learning, the School of Medicine fosters an environment that is diverse and welcoming.
