Faculty Position: The Department of Radiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago is seeking a full-time, continuing appointment, faculty member at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The position will be in an active AI and imaging research environment blending clinical studies with developments of advanced imaging and image analysis research with a focus on novel AI/ Deep Learning research, as applied to computational modeling and application of innovative data analysis concepts should broadly integrate with clinical research and imaging applications in neuroradiology, oncology, body imaging, MSK, thoracic and cardiovascular imaging, breast imaging, etc. Specific research areas include (1) fairness and bias-mitigation in clinical AI applications (2) trustworthy and explainable AI for high-risk medical applications, (3) human-centered AI, (4) application of AI and deep learning to large and multi-modal (e.g., PET-MRI, PET-CT, and imaging with EHR data) in-vivo patient and/or preclinical data sets, and (5) other topics that require developing new deep learning algorithms for the image-based analysis of tissue structure and function, and potentially clinical trials.  

Qualifications: Candidates should hold a PhD in computer science, electrical and electronics engineering, biomedical engineering, medical imaging, or a related field. Experience in radiology imaging modalities MRI, CT, PET, and other biomedical imaging techniques, algorithm development for deep learning architectures, clinical translational imaging, advanced mathematics and statistical concepts, biomedical modeling & post-processing, and successful demonstration of extramural funding are essential. Also required is an exemplary record of peer-reviewed publications.

Facilities: The Radiology Department includes over 100 clinical faculty and a large research group with 18 faculty and 50+ students and postdoctoral fellows who conduct research across a broad spectrum of imaging with MRI, CT, and other modalities. The Department at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) operates a large PACS system to provide a filmless environment. Over 300,000 imaging studies are performed annually, of which 95% are stored at a centralized vendor neutral archive, transmitted, displayed, and interpreted on the PACS. There are 68 diagnostic imaging workstations in the department and another 74 throughout the rest of the facility. There are currently 12 clinical CT scanners, 15 clinical MRI scanners, and 5 MRI systems fully dedicated to imaging research. The department has an active imaging research group with a track-record of development of advanced imaging and analysis techniques and well-established research collaborations between the departments of radiology, cardiology, neurology, the Northwestern Cancer Center, as well as other departments including biomedical engineering and computer science. There are several core lab facilities and I.AIM (institute of augmented intelligence) fostering collaborations and development of innovative solutions for important healthcare challenges.

This position is a continuing appointment, academic rank determined on qualifications, at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Depending on the candidate's qualification, the position can be offered as tenure-track. Salary and benefits are highly competitive. The start date is negotiable and the position will remain open until filled.
