Responsibilities

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will work on the design, development, and deployment of advanced AI systems for cancer care. A strong emphasis will be on engineering robust, scalable solutions for real-world clinical environments. Projects will involve building and optimizing machine learning models (including deep learning and large language models), developing data pipelines for large-scale, multi-modal clinical datasets (e.g., imaging, EHR, and treatment data), and implementing algorithms into production-ready systems that can be evaluated and used in clinical workflows.

The role requires translating research concepts into reliable software tools, ensuring reproducibility, performance, and integration with existing clinical infrastructure.
