Post Doctoral Fellow Nephrology Research

2 weeks ago

Toronto, Canada Unity Health Toronto Full time

The laboratories of Drs. Darren Yuen and Eno Hysi are currently looking for a Post Doctoral Fellow (PDF) to work on an exciting project that involves the integration of AI/ML algorithms in ultrasound imaging. Our team has developed image analysis software that enables estimations of fibrosis of solid organs from raw ultrasound signals. This is an exciting advance as there are no safe and easy means of measuring organ fibrosis, a significant condition affecting all major organs. To enable the clinical integration of this technology in conventional ultrasound machines for real-time analysis, we are looking to advance this technique through the use of cutting-edge ML/AI algorithms. A talented PDF with prior experience in AI/ML and/or medical imaging will be recruited to advance these goals.

Working closely with and receiving advice and direction from Drs. Yuen and Hysi, the Postdoctoral Fellow is expected to develop a specialized area of research and expertise. A Postdoctoral fellowship is an extension of their academic training received during their doctorate which brings them one step closer to reaching their goal of becoming an independent Scientist.
