Positions Available for PhD and Postdoc in Multimodal Health Data Evaluation

Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark PARETO SECURITIES AS Full time

The PURRlab at the IT University of Copenhagen invites highly motivated individuals to apply for a PhD or a 2-year Postdoc position. The project, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation Data Science Ascending Investigator grant, aims to develop novel methods for evaluating teams and algorithms in healthcare.

Machine learning competitions are often touted as drivers of algorithm development but face limitations in real-world applications. An example competition is detecting lung cancer in chest images, where the team correctly identifying the most images with cancer wins the competition.

We propose to design competitions with multiple metrics, both in what the metric measures (e.g., accuracy or sensitivity) and which subgroups of patients this is measured on. Our team will focus on two multimodal disease (risk) prediction data: chest x-rays with radiology reports and retinal images with tabular clinical measurements.

The successful applicants will join the PURRlab team consisting of Associate Professor Veronika Cheplygina, two postdocs, and a PhD student working on related projects within medical imaging and meta-science.

Key qualifications for the positions include experience with data management and reproducibility, programming in Python or similar, and experience with machine learning for imaging, NLP, or other types of multimodal data.
