University of Warwick, United Kingdom University of Warwick Full time

Fixed-term contract for 12 months, 36.5 hours per week.

We are seeking a Research Fellow to support development of AI algorithms for predictive modelling of multimodal data (Infrared, Raman, scanned whole slide images and spatial transcriptomics).

This is an immensely exciting opportunity to join a dynamic project team based in the Tissue Image Analytics Centre, Department of Computer Science, University of Warwick.

The goal of the overall project is to develop a data repository and associated AI tools to improve diagnosis of cancer through spectroscopic approaches such as Raman and Infrared Imaging in collaboration with CLIRPath project partners. The collaborative and multidisciplinary position will be based at University of Warwick with involvement of domain experts at University of Manchester, University of Exeter and University of Aberdeen.

We are recruiting a research fellow in order to build a data repository and develop novel AI tools to demonstrate diagnostic efficiencies of computer-aided testing of pathology samples and to integrate multiple modalities such as spectral imaging and genomic profiling. As research staff on the project, you will work on research and development of deep learning based image and data analytics methods for computer-aided analysis of pathology images, spectral measurements and gene expression profiles. You will also be expected to work closely with project partners in terms of data integration and management as well as development of enabling technologies in this area.

Interview Date: TBC.

**JOB PURPOSE**

Undertake high quality research in order to support AI methods development.

**DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES**

**Research and scholarship**
- Work with the multi-disciplinary project team to conduct research on big data management and/or deep learning for spectral pathology data analytics and visualisation to meet the Warwick team’s responsibilities in our CLIRPath-AI Projects.

- Communicate complex information (orally and in writing) and material of a specialist or highly technical nature.
- Help establish a sound research base within the department in order to assist the development of research objectives and proposals for own or joint research, as required by the project lead.
- Continually update own knowledge and understanding in the field or specialism.
- May be asked to assist in the supervision of student projects and the development of student research skills.

**Administration and Other Activities**
- Will be required to attend team meetings and to participate (where necessary) in other working groups within the project.
- Ensure compliance with health and safety in all aspects of work.
- Work within budget constraints.
- Undertake any additional tasks that fit with the role and grade of the role.
