Postdoctoral Fellow - Radiation Physics
MD Anderson Cancer Center
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.
