Postdoc in machine learning for diffusion and functional MRI

Closing date: 30th of April 2021

Description:
Medical imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) often produce complex image data in a higher-dimensional format, e.g. diffusion MRI or functional MRI. For the computationally demanding post-processing of such data, we use modern machine learning techniques like convolutional neural networks, graph convolutional networks, and reinforcement learning. This project will deal with developing, adapting, and applying such techniques to imaging data from patients with neurodegenerative diseases, available to us thanks to our close cooperation with Karolinska Institute.

Requirements
A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline (With some exceptions for special reasons such as periods of sick or parental leave, kindly indicate if such reason exists in your resume).
The candidate must have a strong background in at least one of the following areas: neuroimaging including connectomics, medical image processing, machine learning or a similar subject. Proficiency in English orally and in writing is required to present and publish research results.

We prefer a candidate with:
Strong research qualifications
Good programming skills, in particular with libraries used for deep learning
Collaborative abilities
Experience of working in a cross-disciplinary setting
Independence
Teaching abilities
Awareness of diversity and equal opportunity issues, with specific focus on gender equality
Great emphasis will be placed on personal competency.

PhD Position at KCL: Fairness in AI for Cardiac Imaging

The subject of ‘fairness’ in artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively new but fast-growing research field. It refers to assessing AI algorithms for potential bias based on demographic characteristics such as race, and the development of algorithms to address this bias. With AI models starting to be deployed in the real world it is seen as essential that its benefits are shared equitably according to race, gender and other demographic characteristics, and so efforts to ensure fairness of deployed models have generated much interest and some controversy (e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55164324). Most applications to date have been in computer vision, although some work in healthcare has started to emerge.

AI-based quantification of cardiac structure and function is also an active research area, and the success of AI in this field has meant that it is currently moving towards wider clinical translation. At the same time, it has long been well understood that cardiac structure and function, as well as the mechanisms leading to cardiovascular disease, vary according to demographic characteristics such as gender and race. Therefore, it is surprising that no work to date has investigated potential bias in AI models for cardiac image analysis. The aim of this project is to investigate this possibility, with a focus on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as to develop novel tools for mitigating the bias, thus creating fairer tools for clinical use.

Candidates for this position are expected to have strong computational skills, experience in or a desire to learn about AI and machine learning as well as a commitment to advancing the fairness of AI algorithms in healthcare.

Eligibility criteria:

Candidates who meet the eligibility requirements for Home (UK) Fee status will be eligible to apply for this project. Home students will be eligible for a full UKRI award, including fees and stipend, if they satisfy the UKRI criteria below, including residency requirements. To be classed as a Home student, candidates must meet the following criteria:

be a UK National (meeting residency requirements), or
have settled status, or
have pre-settled status (meeting residency requirements), or
have indefinite leave to remain or enter.

PhD candidate - ULEARN "Unsupervised Lifelong Learning”

The Technology department of NORCE Norwegian Research Centre AS is looking for a PhD candidate for a 3-year period in connection with the project ULEARN “Unsupervised Lifelong Learning”. The candidate is expected to start on 1 July 2021.

Previous research in both supervised and unsupervised learning assumes that training data have already been collected, and uses such training data to make predictions. The learning algorithm makes predictions, however typically without taking into account that the circumstances under which the data are acquired may have changed.

Furthermore, existing evolutionary algorithms manipulate a population of relatively simple structured candidate solutions, representing e.g. numerical parameter vectors or, in case of genetic programming, simple computer programs. Such representations are not sufficient for representing and evolving learning architectures and hence do not account for the needs of dynamic lifelong learning in software systems.

The PhD research should tackle on optimizing learning processes and handle changing conditions throughout lifetime. Moreover, the research should elaborate on evolutionary learning to go beyond this limitation by combining evolution and computational self-awareness. It aims to provide systems that learn and adapt their architecture during their lifetime on an ongoing basis, based on their sensed experiences and the internal models that they build. A self-aware system architecture addresses the question of how numerous interacting learning processes are structured, w.r.t. each other and the system's machinery for interaction with the world i.e. sensors/actuators and for a given task. The evolutionary algorithm will be combined with the self-aware system to allow for it to “try” parametric and structural variations (“mutations”) of itself and “select” such a variation once it demonstrates beneficial in terms of one or more continuously updated “fitness” measures of the evolving learning software system. Computer vision applications are targeted for validating the feasibility of the approach.

Postdoc in magnetic resonance elastography in the brain

Job description
Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in the brain is a technique of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in which mechanical properties of the brain tissue are estimated non-invasively. Currently, MRE reconstruction is challenging, especially for young people. Preliminary studies have shown that artificial intelligence (AI) is promising for improving MRE reconstruction. In this project, we aim at characterizing the mechanical properties of the brain through MRE in people between 9-15 years old and at correlating them with risk factors for developing anxiety disorders. Thus, the main tasks of the candidate will be:
- Participate in the optimization, acquisition, and processing of images of the subjects in the study.
- Develop novel AI-based MRE reconstruction methods for increasing both accuracy and computational efficiency aiming at our target population.
- Perform correlation analyses between mechanics, predictors of anxiety, and brain connectivity measurements estimated from diffusion MRI and resting-state functional MRI.
- Report the results in the form of scientific manuscripts.
