MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, United States, 77246
The mission of The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center is to eliminate cancer in Texas, the nation, and the world through outstanding programs that integrate patient care, research and prevention, and through education for undergraduate and graduate students, trainees, professionals, employees and the public.The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer and its Institute for Data Science in Oncology (IDSO) includes five major focus areas for the development and application of data science and emerging medical technologies for positive impact in clinical care and operations. Within the IDSO focus area on Quality, Safety, and Access is the Surgical Data Science Program under the direction of Dr. Jeffrey Siewerdsen. The Surgical Data Science Program includes a team of Data Scientists ("Surgineers") working in areas of data science, systems engineering, and technology development. In collaboration with surgeons, physicists, and engineers, the Data Scientist will contribute to research and translation of data science, multidimensional data analysis (including medical images), predictive modeling, and clinical outcomes.The chosen applicant will have demonstrated experience with/in computing/programming (Python, Matlab, C++, CUDA, Julia, R and/or SQL), machine learning/deep learning methods including neural network design, computer vision/image analysis, and statistical analysis. Preference is for candidates with experience with common open source scientific computing/machine learning libraries including: scipy, pandas, statsmodel, OpenCV, XGBoost, PyTorch/TensorFlow. Experience with database languages such as SQL is also desirable. The candidate should also have experience with multiple modern techniques and algorithms in machine learning and statistical computing such as regression, clustering/segmentation, time-series analysis, recommender systems, predictive analytics, Bayesian modeling, data fusion, supervised/unsupervised learning, decision trees, A/B testing, natural language processing. Preference will be given to applicants with knowledge and experience in medical image analysis, including computed tomography, ultrasound, and x-ray radiography/fluoroscopy. Projects underway include translational research in image-guided surgery, interventional radiology, and multi-modality medical image registration.Job Specific Competencies
