Join the Cutting-Edge World of Deep Learning for Medical Image Analysis!
The Image Data Exploration and Analysis (IDEA) Lab @AIBE@FAU, led by Prof. Bernhard Kainz, is seeking highly motivated and talented researchers in the field of Deep Learning for Medical Image Analysis. This is a full-time, fixed-term position, with secure options for future contract extensions. We support further scientific qualification (e.g., PhD or Habilitation) and offer an inspiring environment where your research can thrive.
This position offers the chance to work with real-world healthcare data to derive disease state labels using advanced data-driven methods. You’ll tackle exciting challenges like self-supervised learning, leveraging category theory and symmetry-exploiting methods for noisy and incomplete labels, domain adaptation, and human-in-the-loop approaches. Your work will directly contribute to advancing medical diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare systems.

What We Offer

• A vibrant research environment within an internationally renowned lab.
• The opportunity to publish in leading venues and journals like MICCAI, CVPR, ECCV, IEEE TMI, ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS, Nature, and Medical Image Analysis.
• Collaboration with world-class partners at institutions like Stanford, MIT, Imperial College London, and NYU, with potential for extended research stays.
• A competitive salary aligned with TV-L regulations (~€55,000/year).
• Additional benefits including operational pension schemes, flexible working hours, remote work options, and excellent family-work compatibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct world-class research, presenting and publishing results at top-tier conferences and journals.
• Active contribution to the lab’s research mission, including collaboration with clinical, industrial, and academic partners.
• Teaching responsibilities, including up to 5 SWS (semester weekly hours), depending on the position’s co-funding.
• Support in supervising BSc, MSc, and PhD projects.

NOTWENDIGE QUALIFIKATION:

Essential Qualifications

• A Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.
