Image analysis by artificial intelligence for disease detection

NanoGUNE is a research center devoted to conducting world-class nanoscience research for a competitive growth of the Basque Country. NanoGUNE is a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA) and is recognized by the Spanish Research Agency as a María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence.

The position is offered in the Nanoengineering Group, led by Prof. Andreas Seifert (a.seifert@nanogune.eu). The Nanoengineering Group focuses on research at the interface between fundamental nanoscience and applied engineering, particularly in the area of photonic medical diagnostics, environmental issues, and food control. By combining nanotechnology and photonic approaches, we bridge the gap between physical sciences and industrial as well as clinical applications to finally gain added value for novel biomedical methods, devices, and instrumentation. The acceleration of technology transfer is the driving motor for our research activities.

The candidate will join a research line with focus on the detection of cancer but will also be involved in other projects related to medical diagnostics. More information can be found at https://www.nanogune.eu/nanoengineering

The research line aims at in vitro detection and differentiation of different tumors and other diseases and is carried out in collaboration with several partners.

Working plan:

• Systematic planning of measurement series
• Preparation of biosamples for microscopic imaging
• Biosample imaging with different microscopic settings
• Multi-parametric data analysis, as for example multivariate analysis methods or deep learning

The successful candidate will have a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, or related Engineering field and experience in the following skills:

• Machine learning
• Data analysis
• Optics
• Handling of biosamples

Although not compulsory, the following points will be considered:
