Description
A postdoctoral position is available at the Center for Imaging Science at the Johns Hopkins University. This fellowship is focusing on developing and applying novel medical image processing techniques (registration, segmentation, statistical shape modeling) to in vivo and ex vivo MR images in a preclinical study of cardiovascular disease.
Qualifications
The successful candidate must be highly motivated and have an advanced degree (Ph.D.) with strong mathematical background in any of the following fields: applied mathematics, applied or medical physics, electrical or biomedical engineering, or related fields with research focus on biomedical image processing and medical image computing. The candidate will be involved in developing/utilizing algorithms based on optimal control theory/variational problem and statistical shape models to investigate heart failure using multi-modality cardiac MR images. Ideal candidate should have experience in high performing programming languages such as C++ and Python. Experience with developing image-processing tools using ITK/VTK environment is a plus.
Excellent oral and written communication skills in English are required.
Application Instructions
Applications for this position are accepted online only via Interfolio by clicking the 'Apply Now' button. Your application material must include a detailed CV, research interest (please describe how your qualifications meet the specific area of research in this project), and name and contact information for three references. For further information contact Dr. Siamak Ardekani via email at sardekani@jhu.edu (subject: cardiac image processing postdoctoral fellow).
Equal Employment Opportunity Statement

The successful candidate(s) for this position will be subject to a pre-employment background check.
If you are interested in applying for employment with The Johns Hopkins University and require special assistance or accommodation during any part of the pre-employment process, please contact the HR Business Services Office at jhurecruitment@jhu.edu. For TTY users, call via Maryland Relay or dial 711.
The following additional provisions may apply depending on which campus you will work. Your recruiter will advise accordingly.
During the Influenza ("the flu") season, as a condition of employment, The Johns Hopkins Institutions require all employees who provide ongoing services to patients or work in patient care or clinical care areas to have an annual influenza vaccination or possess an approved medical or religious exception. Failure to meet this requirement may result in termination of employment.
The pre-employment physical for positions in clinical areas, laboratories, working with research subjects, or involving community contact requires documentation of immune status against Rubella (German measles), Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis B and documentation of having received the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccination. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines; two (2) Varicella vaccines; or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers. Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office.
