In this role, you will help develop and implement cutting-edge AI solutions for real-time, image-guided medical applications, with a focus on advanced robotics. You will work directly with clinical data to design robust, efficient deep learning algorithms that maximize the information extracted from images and delivered to the robot.
To be successful in this role, we are looking for candidates to have the following skills and experience.
We welcome applications from individuals with experience in:
- Deep learning
- Medical image computing (preferably x-ray imaging)
- Computationally efficient deep learning
- Deep learning model generalisation techniques
- Translating deep learning models into clinical settings
- Experience developing deep learning models for real-time image/video segmentation, object tracking, 3D reconstruction, super-resolution.
- Have a passion on obtaining external funding and project management

About the department
The Robotics and Mechatronics (RaM) group is active on both fundamental and application-driven topics in the field of robotics. We develop novel fundamental paradigms and physically based methodologies, which we then translate in the Lab into demonstrators and prototypes. Area of robot application is mostly in healthcare, and inspection and maintenance. The research is embedded in the TechMed and DSI Institutes.

About the organisation
The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) uses mathematics, electronics and computer technology to contribute to the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). With ICT present in almost every device and product we use nowadays, we embrace our role as contributors to a broad range of societal activities and as pioneers of tomorrow's digital society. As part of a tech university that aims to shape society, individuals and connections, our faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad, and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. Our research has a high profile both in the Netherlands and internationally. It has been accommodated in three multidisciplinary UT research institutes: Mesa+ Institute, TechMed Centre and Digital Society Institute.
