Job Description

MDACC is recruiting Data Scientists for its newly established Computational Pathology program. This program aims to distil meaningful insights from the extensive resources and data available at MD Anderson, particularly from cancer pathology that is currently benefiting from a digital revolution. Automated, unbiased sample selection and scalable study design will immediately facilitate deep spatial investigations in landmark MD Anderson programs, including APOLLO and Patient MOSAIC, to direct novel data analysis, enable translational studies, and generate clinical impact.

MDACC provides the ideal environment for developing, testing, and deploying AI technologies for improved early cancer diagnosis and accurate treatment selection. The Computational Pathology program is a key focus area of the IDSO and supports the IDSO's mission to drive high-impact discovery research by optimizing multidimensional data integration, analysis, and application.

We seek data scientists to develop, implement, and deploy innovative computational pipelines for medical images. Successful candidates will develop cutting edge artificial intelligence (AI) and image processing methods for digital pathology, conduct data analysis, collaborate and consult with pathologists and clinicians to address key clinical challenges that will have an impact on our patients.

Ideal candidates will have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Science, Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, Computational Biology, or related field. With Three years of experience in scientific software development/analysis (specifically in Python, image processing and Deep Learning)
