About the role

Applicants are invited to apply for a new vacancy at Postdoctoral Research Associate level in Surgical Vision and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the development of AI methods for intraoperative tissue characterisation. The post is based within the Hamlyn Centre at Imperial College London, and the appointed applicant will carry out research at the South Kensington laboratories as well as at the Hammersmith and Charring Cross Hospitals. The Hamlyn Centre is dedicated to developing safe, effective and accessible imaging, sensing and robotics technologies that can reshape the future of healthcare for both developing and developed countries. The Hamlyn Centre is part of the Institute of Global Health Innovation and is supported by two stake-holding departments, Mechanical Engineering, and Surgery & Cancer.

The postholder will play a pivotal role in the development of novel AI techniques for image guided tissue characterisation during tumour resection procedures. This technology will enable accurate and highly personalised in vivo diagnosis and treatment with the aim of improving both the efficacy and safety of tumour resections. It is in response to the current paradigm shift and clinical demand for bringing into the operating theatre the latest technologies in cellular imaging and AI to allow for real-time tissue analysis and provide surgical guidance during tumour resection. To this effect, the role focuses on the integration of the following elements:

• Computer vision for cellular tumour analysis;
• AI for interpretable tissue characterisation.

The post is funded by the CRUK Convergence Science Centre Development Fund grant “Developing an Intelligent Multiscale Fluorescence-Guided Intraoperative Tool for Brain Tumour Resection” led by Dr Stamatia Giannarou.
