Research Fellow in Machine Learning for Multi-scale, Correlative, Biomedical Imaging
Posted on 8 January 2025
Job type: Postdoc
Location: London, UK
Closing Date: 24 January 2025
Do you want to work in a team integrated cutting edge imaging and spatial transcriptomics of the human heart with state-of-the-art ML models to? We are looking for a Post-doctoral Research Fellow with an image analysis/Machine Learning (ML) background to work at integrating correlative high resolution 3D X-ray imaging and Spatial Transcriptomics. You will be based at University College London developing ML based piplines to i) segment 3D tissue strucutres from Hierarchical Phase-Contrast Tomography (HiP-CT) data (see mecheng.ucl.ac.uk/HiP-CT), ii) use these structures as a base line to perform registration between 3D HiP-CT, 2D histological sections and spatial transcriptomic. You will collaborate closely with the project team at Cambridge where spatial transciptomic data is being acquired and with collegues at the European Synchrotron (ESRF) in France where HiP-CT scans are performed.. This post is funded for 2 years in the first instance, with the possibility of extension. A job description and person specification can be accessed at the bottom of this page. If you wish to discuss the post informally, please contact Claire Walsh (c.walsh.11@ucl.ac.uk ) or for application process queries Ruikang Xue (ruikang.xue@ucl.ac.uk).Do you want to work in a team integrated cutting edge imaging and spatial transcriptomics of the human heart with state-of-the-art ML models to?
