Title Postdoc Positions: AI in Pathology & Medicine
URL https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09363
Closing date Mar 30, 2025
Description The OctoPath Lab (www.octopath.org), led by Prof. Lipkova, is inviting applications for postdoctoral research fellow positions. We are seeking exceptional candidates interested in developing deep learning and computational methods for pathology image analysis and multimodal data integration (e.g., proteomics, spatial transcriptomics, genomics, radiology). The applicants should have Ph.D., solid publication records, and strong professional references. The ideal candidate should have a significant mathematical and computational background to learn and develop new AI methods. While demonstrated experience in computer vision and deep learning for pathology or other biomedical image analysis is desirable, applicants with a strong machine learning background and an interest in transitioning to biomedical data science are also encouraged to apply.
Environment and Opportunities
The lab focuses on developing AI methods to improve patient diagnosis, prognosis, treatment response, and biomarkers discovery. We are particularly interested in: a) developing novel AI methods for analyzing pathology data, b) multimodal data fusion strategies, c) computational methods for rare diseases and new modalities, and d) translation of AI solutions into clinical practice through AI-based embedded devices. We are committed to addressing pressing needs in medicine, including oncology, immunology, organ transplantation, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Our lab is affiliated with UCI School of Medicine, School of Biomedical Engineering, Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, and top hospitals across Southern California. The lab benefits from proximity to healthcare startups, biotechnology firms, and a thriving biomedical community, allowing for networking and translational research opportunities. The lab has further strong collaboration with universities and medical centers across USA and Europe, offering exciting opportunities and a vibrant research environment.
