The Biomedical Informatics Lab in Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin (Dr. Mia K. Markey) and the Seton Stroke Institute (Dr. Adrienne Dula) are jointly seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in the area of computational medical image processing. The candidate will be working in a highly collaborative environment that includes researchers from the Department of Neurology at the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin (Dr. Steven Warach) and the Texas Advanced Computing Center (Dr. James Carson). The broad scope of the project, which is funded by the Lone Star Stroke Consortium, entails establishing an imaging repository for the Seton Stroke Institute and The University of Texas at Austin in order to provide pilot data and drive relevant clinical questions regarding quantitative imaging biomarkers of pathology such as stroke. This particular position involves development and maintenance of archive storage as the primary research PACS which will work in concert with an XNAT implementation in order to automate image registration and processing to extract quantitative imaging measures.
