The Department of Radiology is an internationally competitive department undertaking innovative research in medical imaging. It consists of a multidisciplinary team of dedicated academic radiologists and imaging scientists, with active doctoral and post-doctoral research training programmes. The department undertakes world-leading research in several areas including Metabolic Imaging, MRI, PET, and image analysis.
This full-time university post is based in the Academic Department of Radiology with clinical sessions at Cambridge University NHS foundation Trust Hospital.
Our artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and image analysis programme is growing and covers many modalities. This is a strategic area for the Department to develop in the coming decade, and is key for many biomedical developments across the campus.
The successful applicant will be expected to establish a portfolio of clinical imaging research projects which have a significant component of AI, ML or image analysis methods within them. Integration of imaging data with other data sources - such as clinical data, tissue, or liquid biomarkers - will be used to better stratify disease and predict or detect response to treatment.
The applicant will be clinically qualified, specialised in radiology or nuclear medicine, who has undertaken significant research in the areas of AI, ML, or image analysis and is currently working actively in a clinical imaging environment. The appointee will have a strong track record in these areas and a growing reputation as a leader in the field. It is expected that the appointee will broaden the research in the department into new, innovative areas for patient benefit.
