Job Description

The Machine Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging Lab at Mayo Clinic, Arizona is searching for several postdoctoral research scholars. The lab is led by Dr. Bhavik Patel, who is also affiliated with the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, Arizona State University. The Machine Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging Lab focuses on cutting‐edge research at the intersection of imaging science and biomedical informatics, developing and applying AI methods to large amounts of medical data for biomedical discovery, precision medicine, and precision health (early detection and prediction of future disease).

Research Fellows for this position will:

• Develop foundational AI methods for analyzing and extracting information from clinical texts and imaging.
• Assist in advancing clinical prediction models using multi-modal and longitudinal electronic medical records (EMR) and radiological scan data. The scholar will deploy and evaluate these methods as clinical applications to transform medical care.
• Participate in multidisciplinary teams to design, develop, implement, and validate pioneering AI based approaches to solve complex data problems in medical imaging.
• Apply for, and obtain, extramural funding to support projects focusing on AI applications in medical imaging.

To be successful, the candidate should have:

• Imaging science experience with knowledge of Matlab, Python and C++
• Excellent communication skills both verbally and written
• First-authored and/or co-authored publications from graduate or postgraduate training
• A background in biomedical informatics and/or data science will be beneficial

A Research Fellow at Mayo Clinic is a temporary position intended to provide training and education in research.
