About the Role
The University of Cambridge Department of Radiology, under the leadership of Professor Fiona Gilbert, has a well-established track record in breast cancer imaging. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly prominent in this field, its adoption into clinical practice depends on rigorous evidence from both retrospective and prospective studies.
Our group is working on a suite of research within breast cancer screening and we're seeking a highly motivated individual with a broad skillset for this role as a key team member in driving projects forwards. The role will span from curating dataset for use in retrospective evaluation of AI tools to supporting large, prospective clinical trials in which these tools are being deployed.
Responsibilities
- Dataset Curation: Supporting evaluations and developing and testing your own models using the CC-MEDIA imaging dataset.
- Data Expansion: Collecting and curating screening data from sites using mammography equipment from different vendors for use in the EDITH trial.
- Collaboration: Working with a well-established, enthusiastic, and collaborative group within the Department of Radiology with close links to Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
