Research Fellow-Radiology

We are seeking a highly motivated Engineering Research Fellow to join our interdisciplinary team advancing AI-driven solutions for clinical and radiological workflows. This role focuses on the development and deployment of multimodal transformer-based architectures and large language models tailored to medical imaging, clinical notes, and structured health records.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement multimodal AI/ML models integrating radiology images, clinical text, and structured EHR data.
• Develop and fine-tune transformer-based architectures (e.g., BigBird, LLaMA 3.2) for tasks such as imaging protocol prediction, segmentation, and outcome forecasting.
• Apply retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks to enhance model adaptability and domain relevance.
• Collaborate on the creation of benchmark datasets, including labeled radiology images and annotated clinical records.
• Conduct prospective studies and contribute to clinical implementation of validated models.
• Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at national conferences (e.g., RSNA, SIIM).

Required Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, or related field.
• Strong background in deep learning, natural language processing, and medical image analysis.
• Experience with transformer architectures, multimodal fusion, and clinical data pipelines.
• Proficiency in Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and ML Ops tools.
• Demonstrated ability to work in collaborative, cross-functional research environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience with radiology datasets, including CT, MRI, and X-ray modalities.
• Familiarity with medical ontologies (e.g., UMLS, ICD-10) and ontology-based data augmentation.
• Knowledge of causal inference, bias mitigation, and explainable AI techniques.
