Postdoctoral Fellow - Radiation Physics
The postdoctoral fellowship position is within the GU-GYN Physics Section of the Radiation Oncology Physics Department at MD Anderson Cancer Center. The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge research in AI-driven, personalized radiotherapy (RT) (external beam RT/brachytherapy), supporting a research effort in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University and UT Austin. The primary focus of this postdoctoral role is on the development and clinical translation of AI and physics-based models for RT(EBRT/brachytherapy), including his/her contributions to: • On-going deep learning-driven segmentation and planning. • On-going development of predictive models for EBRT and BT planning and outcomes. • On-going adaptive real-time EBRT/brachytherapy planning. The candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with clinical medical physicists, radiation oncologists, and AI researchers, facilitating direct clinical implementation of the developed tools. **LEARNING OBJECTIVES** The postdoc will have an opportunity to participate in and gain hands-on experience in the ongoing deep-learning-based radiation therapy project. Through the close multi-institution project, the postdoc will be mentored and supported by multi-deep learning/machine learning experts at MDACC, Johns Hopkins, and UT Austin, along with the primary project supervisor. **ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS** A successful candidate is recommended to have an engineering or physics background or equivalent training background with a PhD. A background or training in medical physics is not required. Research or coding experience in machine learning or deep-learning projects is highly recommended. Strong programming skills are highly valued but not required. Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively in a team are essential. **POSITION INFORMATION** MD Anderson offers full-time postdoc positions with a salary ranging from $64,000 to $76,000 (https://trainees.mdanderson.org/apply/mdaPostdoctoralFellowStipendFY24.pdf) . depending on the number of years of postgraduate experience.
