University of Oslo Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Digital Image Analysis

A position as postdoctoral research fellow is available at Department of Informatics.

The fellowship period is 3 years.  Starting date preferably no later than 01.09.2016. No one can be appointed for more than one specified period at the same institution.

Project description

The fellowship will be working within a new project called INCUS (INtelligent Cardiovascular Ultrasound Scanner). The vision of this project is to make a system that is capable of assisting the user to increased productivity and accelerated decision making. This will be achieved by introducing intelligent algorithms in the scanner that can exploit knowledge from expert users and previously acquired data and learn from this. We will build on recent research in machine learning that has led to a set of approaches referred to as Deep Learning. Deep Learning has boosted the performance substantially for many applications like speech recognition and image classification. The ambition is to offer a new ultrasound scanner providing increased diagnostic confidence as well as significantly enhanced productivity compared to ultrasound scanners that exist on the market today.
