Title: A postdoctoral position in Biomedical Image analysis
About Us: We are a multi-disciplinary research group working on data
analysis for clinical and biological studies. Our institute, the
Bioinformatics Institute, is nicely located in a research hub in the
beautiful city nation of Singapore.
This is an exciting project on intelligent dry eye diseases assessment
(involves classification and grading) based on (semi-)automatic image
analysis. This is an emerging inter-disciplinary project that has
potential for new developments in computer aided diagnosis.
We are seeking a highly motivated applicant who is interested in doing
research in computer vision and machine learning to join us. In
particular, the applicant is expected to investigate computational
approaches for the analysis of meibomian glands (tear glands of the
human eyes) images. The candidate is expected to work very closely with
clinicians from the Singapore Eye Research Institute. We have already
collected some unique datasets from the clinics and will collect a few
large-scale datasets. The developed techniques will be used on a daily
basis by eye doctors in clinics.
The job scope can be summarized as follows:
(1) Develop novel, state-of-the-art computer vision techniques dedicated
to the studies of the dry eye disease;
(2) Produce high quality research publications on related topics;
(2) Interact with eye doctors;
(3) Develop prototypes in C++ or Java;
(4) Work closely with a dedicated software engineer. The software
engineer will help to turn research prototypes into user friendly Java
applications.
The start date is expected to be around June 2011. The position is for 2
years with a possibility for renewal.
Applications including a cover letter and CV can be send through email to:

Title: A postdoctoral position in Statistical Machine Learning for
Clinical Applications
About Us: We are a multi-disciplinary research group working on data
analysis for clinical and biological studies. Our institute, the
Bioinformatics Institute, is nicely located in a research hub in the
beautiful city nation of Singapore.
This is an exciting project on intelligent glaucoma (eye disease) risk
assessment. This is a highly inter-disciplinary project and our
collaborators are leading experts in ophthalmology. For this project we
have already collected some unique datasets from the clinics and will
collect a few large-scale datasets. The developed techniques will be
used on a daily basis in many clinics in Singapore and worldwide.
We are seeking a highly motivated applicant to join us. The applicant is
expected to be interested in doing research, to investigate
computational approaches and build up predictive models for Glaucoma
risk analysis. For this purpose, the applicant should be familiar with
machine learning techniques, and in particular discriminative learning,
classification and ranking, random forests, and graphical models.
The job scope can be summarized as follows:
(1) Develop novel, state-of-the-art statistical machine learning
techniques for practical application to Glaucoma risk analysis;
(2) Produce high quality research publications on related topics;
(3) Work closely with eye doctors from the Singapore Eye Research
Institute, and the National Univerisity Hospitals;
(4) Develop prototypes in C++ or Java;
(5) Work closely with a dedicated software engineer. The software
engineer will convert prototypes developed in research into a user
friendly Java application.
The start date is expected to be around June 2011. The position is for 2
years with a possibility for renewal.
