Post Doctoral Researcher Rinn Artificial Intelligence - Research & Innovation in Data Science and AI
24 months, Fixed Term, whole-time Post
Applications are invited for a Post-Doctoral research position within the Rinn Artificial Intelligence - Research & Innovation in Data Science and AI funded by Research Ireland within the School of Computer Science and Information Technology and this position will be hosted by the School of Mathematical Sciences in UCC.
This role is part of a national Centre, Rinn Artificial Intelligence - Research & Innovation in Data Science and AI, a multi-institutional interdisciplinary National Centre for Data Science and AI funded by Research Ireland. University College Cork is a Co-lead and this position for Post-Doctoral researcher will sit within the School of Mathematical Sciences under the supervision of Research Ireland Principle Investigator, Dr Eric Wolsztynski.
The host research group leads a number of projects on the development of theoretical and applied methods in statistical modelling, medical imaging data analysis, cancer omics, precision medicine and translational statistics. Depending on their profile, the successful candidate will work on one of the following strands.
• Bespoke modelling of tumour metabolic function using 3D and 4D imaging data
• Cancer patient risk prediction using machine learning (with experience in particular in radiomics and transcriptomics)
• Multi-omics for non-cancer health screening applications,
• Machine learning modelling for mediation analysis and for longitudinal studies
This transdisciplinary research stems from a number of collaborations with clinical partners, using clinical and observational data, with biomarker discovery and clinical characterization among the main objectives.
One key aim of the group is to further the development of bespoke solutions for cancer imaging based on spatial analysis and kinetic modelling techniques. This strand would involve adapting in-house models for Positron Emission Tomography data to other imaging modalities. Research in the other strands that focus on machine learning applications will aim to leverage and adapt appropriate strategies for fairness evaluation and explainability in wide-data risk prediction modelling.
Achievement of the expected progression within Post Doc and Senior Post Doc is transferable between the Irish HEI's. This can be reflected in the starting pay of a PD researcher. Similarly, as the PD scheme is an intergenerational training scheme completion of PD1 or PD 2 levels in one HEI will normally render that researcher ineligible for appointment at a similar level in another Irish HEI Researcher Career Development Framework | Irish Universities Association
Please note that Garda vetting and/or an international police clearance check may form part of the selection process.
Project: Statistical modelling & Medical imaging data analysis
For an information package including full details of the post, selection criteria and application process see https://ore.ucc.ie/ The University, at its discretion, may undertake to make an additional appointment(s) from this competition following the conclusion of the process.
Informal enquiries can be made in confidence to Dr. Eric Wolsztynski, Rinn AI Centre- School of Mathematical Sciences, Email: [email protected]
