The Opportunity

• Do you have a PhD in medical imaging, computer vision, or medical physics?
• Combine expertise in medical image analysis, AI, medical physics, and medicine to develop fundamental technologies for wearable 3D ultrasound imaging
• Join our CSIRO Health and Biosecurity Team for this high impact and challenging postdoctoral opportunity

CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

The CERC Fellow will join a multidisciplinary team working within the Australian e-Health Research Centre (AEHRC), part of CSIRO Health and Biosecurity, and the School of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology (QUT). The role will be based in the CSIRO Medical Image Analysis team within the Biomedical Informatics group with extensive collaboration with the ultrasound physics group at QUT.

The CERC Fellow will be part of an international, multi-disciplinary research team with expertise in: medical image analysis, medical physics, AI/ML, clinical translation and biomedical engineering.  The CERC Fellow will conduct novel, world class research to develop foundation technologies for the development of 3D medical image reconstruction from wearable ultrasound devices.

Your duties will include:

• Carrying out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO that will, where possible, lead to novel and important scientific outcomes.
• Developing innovative concepts, ideas, and algorithms for the generation of 2D and 3D image reconstruction from wearable capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs).
• Communicating results in high quality journals, conferences, and client reports.
• Supporting the drafting of patents to protect Intellectual Property as needed.

Location: Herston, QLD
