Postdoctoral Fellow - Computational Precision Oncology
MD Anderson
A postdoctoral fellowship position is available in the Department of Imaging Physics in the laboratory of Chengyue Wu, PhD. Dr. Chengyue Wu's research interests focus on computational precision oncology, especially integrating computational/mathematical approaches with emerging biomedical imaging techniques to improve the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of human cancers. Dr. Wu has extensive experience on developing and validating image processing methods and image-guided models for investigating tumor growth and treatment response, tumor-associated vasculature and microenvironment, and drug delivery. The lab is in a highly collaborative research environment with access to world-class resources, expertise, and data.
Current project seeking postdoctoral fellows focuses on cancer patient digital twins, especially establishing image-guided mechanistic mathematical models to predict and optimize cancer (e.g., breast cancer, glioma, colorectal cancer, sarcoma) treatment response on a patient-specific basis.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The postdoctoral fellow will engage in highly productive interdisciplinary research projects in image-guided precision oncology and personalized cancer healthcare. The fellow will expand their knowledge and skills in quantitative imaging, image analysis, mathematical biomechanical modeling, inverse problems, and uncertainty quantification. The fellow will have opportunities to contribute to ongoing research projects and will be encouraged to explore and develop new areas of research interest with guidance from the mentor. The fellow will be expected to work closely with research/clinical collaborators, communicate findings via reports, abstracts, presentations, and publications, and actively participate in seminars, conferences, and related academic endeavors.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Applicants should have earned a Ph.D. in one of the applied mathematics, natural sciences, computer sciences, engineering, or related fields. Experience with mathematical modeling, computational sciences, or medical image analysis is preferred. Applicants do not need to be US citizens or permanent residents. This appointment is not part of a clinical training program.
POSITION INFORMATION
