KEY AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY

The primary function of this position is to develop an independent research program in medical image perception, particularly at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Medical Image Perception. This position will report the results from these efforts in scientific publications and is expected to acquire extramural support from grants. In addition, this position is expected to collaborate with a large cohort of investigators from the vibrant Iowa community.

The incumbent is expected to work in a fast paced research environment with diverse team of investigators, students, and staff members. In addition, the incumbent will work with state-of-the-art eye position recording equipment, imaging equipment (such as a Photon-Counting Computed Tomography scanner) and will study how Artificial Intelligence applications affect radiologists cognitive and perceptual processes.

Experiments, Simulation, Modeling or Theoretical Investigation:

• Identify and define problems, solutions to which can be approached through a scientific research process.


• Design and execute experiments


• Work independently on basic research tasks in collaboration with other Faculty members and Principal Investigators (PI).
