Radiologiseksjon, Sykehuset i Vestfold HF

Om stillingen

Researchers at Vestfold Hospital Trust (Sykehuset i Vestfold; Si V) and the Oslo University (Oslo universitetssykehus; OUS) hospitals are working together on a stroke imaging project titled: “Real-time radiology support to treat intracerebral hemorrhage” (READOUT-ICH). Context: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has the ominous distinction of being the deadliest type of stroke. Mission: Improve treatment and rely on rapid diagnosis and maximizing information from acute stroke imaging with novel image analysis methods.
The successful candidate will embark on a 3-year Ph D project fully funded by the The South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority. The project will be administered at Si V in Tønsberg, and the Ph D fellow will also become a member of the Computational Radiology in Artificial Intelligence (CRAI.no), which is situated at Rikshospitalet OUS campus and part of the Department of Physics and Computational Radiology within Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at OUS. The ideal candidate has experience in the analysis of medical image data, and particularly the use of machine learning in image analysis. The locations for the research include Si V and CRAI.
The READOUT-ICH team consists of imaging physicists, clinician-scientists in radiology, neurosurgery, neurology, and computer scientists. The team has vibrant collaboration within and external to Norway. The successful candidate will deploy cutting-edge deep learning tools to further improve analysis methods using primarily computed tomography images. External validation of CRAI tools is a key component to the current project.
Si V and OUS are workplaces with great diversity. We believe that this diversity is crucial to solving the tasks required of us. Therefore, we want this diversity to be reflected among the applicants for our positions and encourage everyone to apply regardless of who you are and what background you have.
