The
Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) have a vacancy for an excellent PhD
student with a Master of Science in: (Biomedical) Engineering, Physics,
Bioinformatics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer
Science, or related subject, with an interest in advanced image analysis
and/or bioinformatics.
The position is embedded within the Radiology
department at The Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) with an academic
appointment at Maastricht University, The Netherlands. Its mission is to
quantitatively extract features from imaging data sets (MRI, PET/CT,
4D-CT, MRI) to assess the correspondence with e.g. gene-expression,
survival and other outcome measures of patients. A combination of
automated and manual image characterization methods will be used to
characterize these quantitative imaging biomarkers, using a so-called
“radiomics” approach. You will develop and evaluate novel computational
imaging processing methods applied to existing and future datasets from
throughout Europe and the States. You will collaborate with world
leading experts in the fields of imaging, image analysis,
bioinformatics, computational biology, machine learning, and artificial
intelligence.This PhD project is in collaboration with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Harvard University).
