The Postdoctoral Fellow/Scientist will work in the field of disease diagnosis, prognosis 
 and management using novel computerized image analysis tools on a range of clinical images 
 including radiographic and pathological images and the associated clinical outcome and 
 demographics. Diseases areas of investigation will include a variety of cancer types including 
 prostate, breast, lung, brain, rectal, head and neck, oral, skin, bladder and blood-based cancers, 
 cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and ophthalmology. Research projects will involve dealing 
 with large scale data sets and developing algorithms and computing technologies to process, 
 extract features and analyze these digitized histology images using machine learning and deep 
 learning methods. The postdoc/scientist will possess expertise in programming languages used 
 to develop and implement machine learning and deep learning based algorithms and interfaces 
 towards image analysis especially in medicine involving diverse datasets including pathology, 
 radiology images, high throughput generic data as well as medical information. 
 
 The postdoc/scientist will be involved in using these skills to build novel diagnostic, prognostic, 
 and response determination tools in healthcare leveraging artificial intelligence. The
