Job Description:

Department of Radiology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, has an opening position for a post-doctoral fellow in computations and image processing. The primary responsibilities for this position are to migrate existing deep learning programs in biomedical image processing to the cloud, optimize current programs in terms of enhancing robustness, sustainability, reusability and scalability, improve the current programs for enhanced data security and privacy protection, and carry out related research tasks. Tasks may include, but not limited to, * Adding APIs and services and reducing coupling and complex shared state* Decomposing and decoupling services from explicitly encoded data sources* Employing standard security that relies on cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) models* Improving architecture to reduce chattiness over the network and to minimize data ingress/egress charges in cloud environments* Adopting standard input and output data formats* Factoring configuration of services into environment variables and configuration properties for deployment* Implementing standard logging models* Converting tools to provide clean input, output, and configuration that make them more usable in composition via workflow languages* Enhancing source code and build/test tools to support community open source development,* developing standard build and packaging tools to manage dependencies and produce containerized runtimes* formatting packages for sharing via common package management tools appropriate to the language and environment * Enhancing standard unit and functional testing support and sample data sets for testing patches and upgrades Qualifications: A Ph.D. in computer science, applied mathematics, or electrical engineering is required. The candidate should be familiar with Python, Linux, deep learning, software development and testing cycle, and cloud computing. It is a plus if the candidate has experience with cloud-based computations and biomedical image processing. The candidate will need to be able to work in a team and independently. The candidate should have a good time management skill and be able to meet various deadlines.
