SUBFUNCTION DEFINITION: To conduct scientific studies related to medical image using artificial intelligence approaches.

CAREER LEVEL SUMMARY: Dr. Lili He's laboratory of Artificial Intelligence for Computer Aided Diagnosis (AI-CAD) at Imaging Research Center (IRC) is committed to lending the group's interdisciplinary expertise in computer science, medical imaging, biomedical engineering and biostatistics to facilitate major breakthroughs in the medical AI field by developing and validating robust clinically effective AI diagnostic tools for clinicians to use at the bedside to improve diagnosis, prediction, and prevention of patient outcomes for high-risk infants and children. We are now looking for talented and highly-motivated AI post-doctoral research fellows to join us. Applicants should email their CV, along with a brief letter outlining their AI/research background and interests to Hailong Li (Hailong.Li@cchmc.org).

Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is a premier pediatric research institution with over 900 diverse and productive faculty members. Here, researchers work collaboratively across specialties and divisions to address some of the biggest challenges we face today in improving child health. A strong network of research support services and facilities, along with institutional commitment to research, push our team of faculty, postdocs and support staff to explore the boundaries of what is possible, leading to significant breakthroughs. We are driven by our mission to improve child health and transform the delivery of care through fully integrated, globally recognized research, education and innovation.

Post-doctoral research fellows at Cincinnati Children's are valued for their unique interests and strengths, and are supported by our institution's strong programming for post-docs through the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and the Office of Academic Affairs and Career Development. Mentoring, support for international students and an emphasis on crafting high-quality grant proposals are only a few of the features that set our program apart.
