Job Details

The Department of Biomedical Engineering, King’s College London, seeks a Research Associate to work with Dr Emma C. Robinson on the development of novel Deep Learning and Image Processing algorithms for precision registration of multimodality brain scans.

This 3-year post, to commence early 2020, is funded by a Wellcome Trust Collaborative Award shared between King’s College London, the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging, University of Oxford, and the Donders Institute, Nijmegen. Successful applicants will work under the supervision of PIs from two or more institutions on the grant.

Employment would ideally start early 2020 and during this time, the post-holder will be responsible for:

  • Developing learning-based solutions to cortical surface-constrained volumetric brain image registration.
  • With integration of multimodal imaging sources, including structural, functional and diffusion MRI, in order to enhance correspondence across modalities.
  • And exploration of new techniques for precision modelling of cortical organisation to support robust population-level comparisons of the data.

Applicants will be expected to hold a PhD (or be close to completion) in a relevant computational domain. A track record in medical image processing and/or machine learning, with strong proficiency in Python, or C/C++) is highly desirable.

Company

King's College London is one of the top 20 universities in the world and among the oldest in England. King's has more than 27,600 students (of whom nearly 10,500 are graduate students) from some 150 countries worldwide, and some 6,800 staff.

King's has an outstanding reputation for world-class teaching and cutting-edge research. In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) King’s was ranked 6th nationally in the ‘power’ ranking, which takes into account both the quality and quantity of research activity, and 7th for quality according to Times Higher Education rankings. Eighty-four per cent of research at King’s was deemed ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ (3* and 4*). The university is in the top seven UK universities for research earnings and has an overall annual income of more than £684 million.

King's has a particularly distinguished reputation in the humanities, law, the sciences (including a wide range of health areas such as psychiatry, medicine, nursing and dentistry) and social sciences including international affairs. It has played a major role in many of the advances that have shaped modern life, such as the discovery of the structure of DNA and research that led to the development of radio, television, mobile phones and radar.

King's College London and Guy's and St Thomas', King's College Hospital and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trusts are part of King's Health Partners. King's Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre (AHSC) is a pioneering global collaboration between one of the world's leading research-led universities and three of London's most successful NHS Foundation Trusts, including leading teaching hospitals and comprehensive mental health services.
