Multi-Modality AI Post-Doctoral Researcher

The Imaging AI Lab • Bethesda, MD

10d • $85,000 - $100,000

About The Position

The Imaging AI Lab is a startup research laboratory within the CAMAI Center of NovaGen Research, a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We focus on medical imaging AI research including modeling multi-modality and/or longitudinal data. Our focus is to create well-prepared frameworks for medical AI modeling to the medical community. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Post-Doctoral Researcher to lead the development and implementation of multi-modality solutions tailored for medical data – including imaging, EHR, and -omics. This position focuses on building a multi-modality AI framework for combining and incorporating multiple different types of medical data for building accurate predictions. If you are passionate about the intersection of AI, privacy, and medical innovation, we encourage you to apply.
