Description: The Computational Radiology Laboratory (CRL) directed by Prof. Simon Warfield at Boston Children’s Hospital and Quantitative Intelligent Medical Imaging (QUIN) lab directed by Asst. Profs. Sila Kurugol and Onur Afacan at Harvard Medical School has several immediate opening for highly motivated post-doctoral research fellows to develop automated image analysis using deep learning tools, motion-compensated image reconstruction algorithms, and motion-robust quantitative MR imaging techniques to compute imaging markers of disease from MR images of abdomen and brain for projects funded by the National Institutes of Health.
The researchers will develop highly innovative imaging and image processing techniques and software tools including image segmentation, registration approaches, machine learning algorithms to analyze images, correct for motion and distortion, and reconstruct high-resolution images and estimate quantitative model parameters to generate marker of disease in using several quantitative MRI techniques. The researchers will have access to radiologists, MR physicists, will have mentorship from an expert team of principal investigators and will attend courses and seminars offered at Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Harvard Catalyst.
About CRL and QUIN: The mission is improving our understanding of the structure and function of the brain and other organs of the human body, in order to improve our capacity to diagnose and treat disease. CRL and QUIN labs are located at Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH), which is ranked #1 in US News ranking of pediatric hospitals. Researchers at these labs are affiliated with Harvard Medical School which is ranked #1 in US News ranking of medical schools. Boston is known as a hub for healthcare and medical innovations, and a beautiful city full of top-rank universities. Opportunities for cross-training and networking are enormous with several top-rank universities (Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, and Boston University), top-rank hospitals and medical research centers, and biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in the neighborhood.
