About Us
The Georgia State University/Georgia Institute of Technology/Emory University Center for Translational Research in Neuroimaging and Data Science (TReNDS) is focused on developing advanced analytic approaches and neuroinformatics tools that leverage brain imaging data, with a goal of translating these approaches into biomarkers that help solve issues related to brain health and disease. Large-scale data sharing and multimodal data fusion techniques are the underpinnings of our approach. We develop state-of-the-art signal processing and web-based solutions to further this goal.About the Team
Georgia State University’s new Center for Translational Research in Neuroimaging and Data Science (TReNDS) is looking for a post-doctoral associate to join our machine learning core team to engage students in learning the technical skills that industry increasingly expects from Data Scientists. Big Data comes from the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, autonomous vehicles, and other IT-related fields such as scientific labs working with medical or remote-sensing data, companies specializing in big data processing and analysis, cloud storage and computing services.
About the Role
The Post-Doctoral Associate in this position will work in a multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional collaborative environment developing models capable of learning from high-dimensional brain imaging data and transfer to application settings where labels are rarely available and data is usually scarce. The person in this position will work under the supervision of Dr. Sergey Plis, Associate Professor in Computer Science and Director of the TReNDS Machine Learning Core.
Primary Duties and Responsibilities
- Develop novel deep learning models for 3D and 4D image processing with application to brain imaging and a focus on building robust and easy to use models.
- Joining our group you will work in a multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional research team on developing models capable of learning from high-dimensional brain imaging data and transfer to application settings where labels are rarely available and data is usually scarce.
- Your tasks include conducting original research on the development of these models, and unsupervised, or self-supervised ways to train them, publish papers on your findings at machine learning conferences and in brain imaging journals, work with PhD students from GSU, GATech, and Emory (with an opportunity to co-supervise), and mentor developers working on implementing distributed training of these models.

Organization
Founded in 1913 in Atlanta, Georgia State University is the second-largest and one of four research institutions in the University System of Georgia. The University serves one-fourth of the graduate students in the university system; it is within a one-hour commute of more than one-third of the state’s population. Approximately 80 percent of all Georgia State alumni live and work in Georgia.
Georgia State’s main campus is located on 34 acres in downtown Atlanta. University centers in Alpharetta, Brookhaven, Buckhead and Henry County offer students convenient suburban locations for graduate courses in business and education.
More than 50,000 students annually attend Georgia State University. While 90 percent of the students are from Georgia, students also come from all 50 states and 160 countries. More than 1,400 international students attend Georgia State and graduate students comprise 31 percent of the student population.
The University offers more than 52 degree programs in more than 250 fields of study – from public policy and African-American studies to biology and health sciences. Degrees are offered at the bachelor’s, master’s, specialist and doctoral levels through six units: the College of Arts and Sciences, J. Mack Robinson College of Business, College of Education, College of Health and Human Sciences, College of Law and Andrew Young School of Policy Studies. In addition to the numerous degree programs, Georgia State offers full- and part-time programs and day, evening and weekend classes.
Students have many choices in extracurricular activities including more than 22 fraternities and sororities; and some 250 chartered student groups, including 60 degree-related student groups, seven religious, 24 law-oriented and 22 multicultural/international groups; and 10 honor societies. There is also an active student government association which includes the student senate and the judicial board.
The Georgia State Panthers are members of the Colonial Athletic Association and compete in 16 NCAA Division I intercollegiate men’s and women’s sports, including basketball, baseball, softball, golf, tennis, track and volleyball. The university announced in April 2008 that is will begin Division I-AA football in 2010.
The university’s innovative Touch the Earth program brings outdoor recreation ranging from backpacking, rock climbing, sailing, kayaking, rafting and water-skiing to out-of-state snow-skiing and snorkeling trips. And WRAS, Georgia State’s popular 100,000-watt radio voice, is the most powerful student-run radio station in the United States.
