Job Title

Information Sciences Professional (Intermediate, Senior, Principal – Open Rank), part-time (0.2 FTE; qualification dependent)

Information Science Professionals utilize applied or computational mathematical analyses for a wide array of different applications and to solve complex problems. Experiments may include text interpretation, coding, ground theory methodology for the analysis of certain data, and quantum state analyses. Information Science Professionals may also perform duties in labs that use primarily electronic equipment. This Information Science Professional will be operating as a Machine Learning (ML) Engineer to help the Department of Radiology create artificial intelligence analysis of medical images.

Working under the Principal Investigator (PI), Dr. Bennett Chin, the ML Engineer will assist with the creation of machine learning models and retraining systems using radiology data. The candidate needs exceptional skills in mathematics and programming; knowledge of data science and experience with software engineering is desired. The ultimate goal of this position will be to shape and build efficient deep learning applications.

This is a part‑time, 0.2 FTE position with an option to work remotely.
