Core responsibilities Coordinate the design, implementation, and evaluation of AI-enabled facial image analysis within a large-scale longitudinal child health study, supporting the development of a screening model to triage children with features suggestive of a genetic syndrome for early developmental assessment and genetic testing. Manage the development of a national phenotyping and genomic data resource, integrating facial features with genomic and diagnostic information from individuals with intellectual disability, both diagnosed and undiagnosed. Lead the design, implementation, and evaluation of AI-enhanced facial image analysis to support variant interpretation and novel gene discovery in children with syndromic intellectual disability who remain undiagnosed following exome sequencing. Foster national collaboration through secure and ethical data-sharing practices with clinicians, researchers, and health consumer communities. Contribute to knowledge translation and dissemination through publications, presentations, and engagement with consumer groups. To be successful in this role, you will have: Expertise: Completed a doctoral qualification in computer vision, machine learning, digital health or a related area with strong programming skills.

About FaceMatch Intellectual disability is one of the greatest unmet challenges in healthcare, affecting 1 in 200 children. While most moderate to severe cases are caused by single-gene variants, more than half of affected individuals remain undiagnosed despite advances in genetic testing. A timely molecular diagnosis is critical—not only to guide management, reduce unnecessary investigations, and enable access to clinical trials, but also to give families clarity, reduce isolation, and support reproductive decision-making. Facial features often hold important clues to the underlying genetic cause of intellectual disability. The FaceMatch platform is a world-first, award-winning initiative, co-designed with clinicians, researchers, and families, to improve diagnostic accuracy and discover new genes. Unlike other tools, FaceMatch allows parents to contribute images across the age spectrum, making it uniquely suited to clinical practice and large-scale research. Using AI-enhanced facial analysis, this project aims to: Develop an early screening model to identify children at risk of developmental delay and enable timely intervention. Enhance interpretation of uncertain genetic variants and accelerate novel gene discovery. Build a national resource that fosters collaboration between clinicians, researchers, and families. This project will directly advance precision medicine for children with syndromic intellectual disability, with profound benefits for families and the healthcare system.
