Job description
Chest radiography is the most common radiological exam worldwide. We are developing and evaluating algorithms for automatic analysis of chest radiographs. This project focuses on the topics:
- Computer-aided detection (CAD) of tuberculosis (TB), one of the most deadly diseases worldwide
- Integration of content-based image retrieval in our TB detection system
- Evaluating the performance of CAD systems for chest radiography by measuring stand-alone performance and designing and setting up observer studies
- These studies will be aimed at CAD for TB but also at other CAD algorithms for chest radiography
Requirements
You should be a creative and enthusiastic researcher with an MSc degree in Computer Science, Physics, Engineering or Biomedical Sciences or similar, with a clear interest to develop image analysis algorithms and an affinity with medical topics. Good communication skills and expertise in software development, preferably in C++, are essential.
Conditions of employment
- Temporary 4 years
- 36 hrs per week
- Salary level 10A: maximal € 2673 gross per month
- You will be appointed as a PhD student with the standard salary and secondary conditions for PhD students in the Netherlands. Your performance will be evaluated after 1 year. If the evaluation is positive, the contract will be extended by 3 years. The research should result in a PhD thesis.
