  • Experience working with imaging datasets and image processing
  • Experience with high-performance computing environments, including Linux/Unix, and running algorithms on CPUs and GPUs
  • Deep learning frameworks, particularly Python and PyTorch
  • Medical image segmentation and computer vision model development
  • Large language models and multimodal AI architectures
  • Setting up and managing large imaging datasets
  • Strong written communication skills and a track record of, or clear enthusiasm for, first-author publication are essential
  • PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, data science, or a closely related field is strongly preferred
