Postdoctoral positions in Machine Learning for Medical Image Analysis (100%)

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position focussing on Medical Image Analysis in the Information Science and Engineering (ISE) lab headed by Prof. Joachim Buhmann at ETH Zurich.
Applicants should be highly motivated and creative, show an exceptional track record, and hold a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Bioinformatics, Mathematics, Statistics, or related fields, and be interested in working in an interdisciplinary group at the interface of Medical Image Analysis and Machine Learning. Applicants will be expected to work on multidisciplinary projects with domain experts from the fields of Medicine and Medical Imaging. As such, they should be comfortable communicating core concepts from Machine Learning to scientists without a background in this area. Applicants should have a strong publication record at the relevant conferences (e.g. NIPS, ICML, MICCAI, CVPR) and Journals (e.g. JMLR, T-PAMI).
The Information Science and Engineering (ISE) lab is headed by Prof. Joachim M. Buhmann. Members of the group work on diverse topics ranging from foundations of statistical learning to applications in bioinformatics, medical informatics and beyond. Alumni of the lab now hold positions which range from faculty positions in the world’s top universities (Columbia Univ., UCSB, MSKCC, ETH Zurich, Heidelberg Univ., Univ Basel…) to research positions in companies such as Google and Yahoo. The ISE lab is part of the newly formed Machine Learning Institute as well as the Research Center on Learning Systems between ETH and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen.
To apply, please submit a complete (preferably electronic) application to mljobs-AT-inf.ethz.ch which should include:
A current CV
University transcripts
Contact details for at least two referees
A statement of purpose (up to 2 pages) describing your research interests and motivation to join the group.
If you will be attending ICML 2015 in Lille please highlight this on your application as arrangements can be made for preliminary interviews to be held there.
The preselection process will start on July 15, but applications arriving after this date will be considered as well (with a final deadline of July 31, 2015). We plan to inform candidates about the outcome of their application within 3 months from submission. Candidates who receive an offer should start their position in 2015.
