Description

The Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering of the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at West Virginia University invites applications for multiple Postdoctoral Fellow positions to work with researchers at the West Virginia-Arkansas Center for Research and Education in Smart Health (WVAR-CRESH). WVAR-CRESH is a key part of a recent large NSF funding to enhance collaboration between researchers in West Virginia and Arkansas on problems in healthcare. The long-term goal of the collaboration is to improve health and well-being by accelerating decision making for smart health applications, through the development and application of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, exploiting the available massive heterogeneous biomedical datasets. Activities under this collaboration will lead to improved workforce development in leading-edge technology areas of data science, AI, and smart health. For more information about WVAR-CRESH, please visit https://community.wvu.edu/~daadjeroh/projects/cresh/. 

We are searching for candidates with a strong background in computer vision, deep learning, applied mathematics, and biomedical image analysis, especially ultrasound images. The center is focused on developing new algorithms and techniques that use advances in AI and machine learning to analyze different types of biomedical data. Emphasis is on cardiovascular health (especially on the analysis of cardiac images, such as echocardiographs, MRI, CT images, etc), health disinformation, and privacy preserving health data analytics.

The Postdoctoral Fellows will conduct research on one or more of the topics above. Together with the project team members, the Postdoctoral Fellows will have the opportunity to determine the specific direction of their research project within the scope of the collaborative projects in the center, depending on their interests.

Qualifications

The successful candidate must have a PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, biomedical engineering, applied mathematics, physics or a related field. Familiarity with machine learning/deep learning/data analytics is a requirement and proficiency in scientific computing using one or more of the major programming languages/environments (python, PyTorch, Matlab, C/C++, or R) is essential.
