OCE Postdoctoral Fellowship in biomedical engineering, – e-Health and Telemedicine, Australia
CSIRO offers PhD graduates an opportunity to launch their scientific careers through our Office of the Chief Executive (OCE) Postdoctoral Fellowships. Successful applicants will work with leaders in the field of science and receive personal development and learning opportunities.
As a postdoctoral fellow you will have the unique opportunity to research and develop cutting edge technologies and a novel system for fully automated analysis and comparison of the eye images taken over a period of time. Previous images will be stored in the cloud and any new images from the same patient will be compared to the old images for possible changes to the vessel structure. It is expected that you will publish your results in high impact journals in medicine and computer science and have hand-on experience developing software code for image analysis and machine learning.
The candidate will be involved:
- Under the direction of senior research scientists, carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO that will, where possible, lead to novel and important scientific outcomes.
- Develop image quality control system for retinal imaging cameras
- Build computer-aided systems using image feature detection, registration of images taken over a time, image comparison, machine learning techniques and data mining (using both clinical parameters and eye image features).
- Oversee the data collection and quality of data from the eye clinic.
Location: Floreat – Perth, WA
Salary: AUD$81K – AUD$88K plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: Specified Term of 3 years
