Description The Department of Dentistry and Oral Health at the Faculty of Health at Aarhus University invites applications for a position as Postdoc in the field of advanced image processing as per 1 June 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is a fixed-term full-time position for 2 years, with a possible extension of one more year.
About the research project:
Our group is part of a larger initiative to implement state-of-the-art data science principles into dental practice. While our primary focus is on the use of deep learning in (dental) imaging, our work expands into any type of data (e.g. language models) as well as various other algorithmic methods for data processing and analysis.
Current projects within this scope include, but are not limited to:
Detection and classification of lesions
Segmentation of anatomical and pathological regions of interest
Image enhancement e.g. improving resolution, noise, artefacts etc.
Synthetic radiography

Your competences:
You have academic qualifications at PhD level; candidates can have a background in a (bio)medical discipline (incl. medicine or dentistry), medical physics, computer/data science, electrical engineering, etc. Prior experience in (1) image processing, particularly for radiographic and computed tomographic data as well as mesh-type data, and (2) machine learning, particularly deep learning, will be considered as a significant advantage. Prior experience in Python programming is not strictly necessary, but the successful candidate will be expected to acquire intermediate or advanced programming skills on the job.
