Closing date Jan 30, 2026

Description The Advanced Aortic Imaging for Translational and Clinical Research (AAI-CTR) lab in the UW–Madison Department of Radiology is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate with an Engineering, BME, CS, or Medical Physics background to advance clinical image analysis for aortic disease. This role is centered on vascular deformation mapping (VDM), 3D registration, and DL/ML methods applied to large CT/MR datasets, with the goal of validating and extending these tools to multi-center/multi-vendor data and integrating them into real clinical workflows. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with CT and/or MRI image analysis, strong Python and deep learning skills (PyTorch/TensorFlow), and a genuine interest in clinical translation of imaging AI. Experience with segmentation, registration, cardiovascular imaging, or deformation/shape modeling is highly valued. The position is embedded in a collaborative environment with strong records of trainees moving on to industry and academic roles. To apply, send a CV and brief cover letter describing relevant imaging/AI experience to Dr. Nicholas S. Burris at nsburris@wisc.edu.
