We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Computational Pathology to join Prof. Jens Rittscher’s research group at the Department of Engineering Science, Oxford Big Data Institute and the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Headington. The post is funded by Arthritis Therapy Acceleration Programme (A-TAP) and is fixed-term for up to 12 months.
The quantitative analysis of histology image data will play an increasingly important role in clinical research and diagnostic.

You will be responsible for the identification of clinical needs, the development of novel analysis methodologies and the analysis of larger population studies.
You should hold a relevant PhD/DPhil (or be near completion) and have experience in biomedical imaging, computer vision and machine learning (with the possibility to underfill at Grade 6: £29,617- £35,326 per annum, if you hold a relevant degree/Masters and working on a PhD/DPhil, together with relevant experience). You should also have proven programming experience in Python and/or C/C++ and excellent communication skills.
