• Demonstrated capacity to work collaboratively and proactively as part of a multi-disciplinary team, as well as proven ability to work effectively with minimal supervision
• Ability to contribute to research projects including identifying and tracking milestones, reporting on progress and identifying barriers to completion

Qualifications

• Completion of a doctoral qualification in a relevant field (e.g. computer vision, machine learning, deep learning) with proven knowledge of research techniques and methodologies.  Prior experience with medical data analysis is beneficial, though not essential
