Position Description
Applicants are sought for a postdoctoral scholar position in the field of medical imaging and physics, in the Advanced Imaging and Informatics for Radiation Therapy (AIRT) Lab of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas (UTSW). Our lab is developing methods to solve inverse problems including motion-resolved CT and MR reconstruction using extremely limited signals; real-time spot-scanning proton therapy plan optimization using concurrently acquired imaging data; and motion-adaptive, robust photon/proton radiotherapy plan optimization. We use a hybrid of traditional, GPU-accelerated iterative optimization strategies and deep learning-driven approaches. We are looking for a candidate with an interest in applying optimization and machine-learning techniques to solve real-world medical challenges. Previous experience in programming (MATLAB/Python/C/C++) and image processing is preferred. Knowledge in machine/deep learning and high-performance computing is a plus but not required. No previous background in medical imaging/physics is required. The candidate should demonstrate excellent written and communication skills. Successful candidates are also eligible to enroll in our CAMPEP-accredited didactic medical physics certificate program for free, whose curriculum covers the essential medical physics courses for individuals to enter the medical physics residency to become a professional medical physicist in the US. Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae to Dr. You Zhang at You.Zhang@UTSouthwestern.edu.We are not accepting applications for this job through MathJobs.Org right now.
