We're at the forefront of research to deliver innovative health solutions that advance the prevention and treatment of diseases in people and animals. Responsibilities Lead the scientific design and implementation of advanced image analytics methods for discovery, translational, and clinical research. Develop novel or adapted algorithms in computer vision, machine learning, deep learning, signal processing, and statistics for multimodal biomedical data. Design reproducible, scalable analytical workflows that integrate imaging data with experimental, molecular, and clinical metadata. Collaborate deeply with domain scientists to define scientific questions, translate them into analytical strategies, and interpret results in biological and clinical context. Serve as a technical and scientific authority within cross-functional project teams, driving solutions from concept through deployment. Critically evaluate internal methods and external tools/vendors through benchmarking, validation, and scientific rigor.
