The candidate will be involved in on-going NIH funded R01 project that is collaborating with Johns Hopkins. The post-doc will be closely collaborating to develop deep-learning based auto-segmentation of tumor target and applicators on MRI for real-time MRI-based Brachytherapy treatment planning. The post-doc will lead its implementation and validation in clinical environment with clinical medical physicists.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The post-doc will have an opportunity to participate in and hands-on experience on the on-going, deep-learning based radiation therapy project that funded by NIH. The post-doc will have chances to get mentored and supported by multi deep-learning/machine learning experts in MDACC as well as Johns Hopkins through this close multi-institution project, along with the primary project supervisor. The post-doc will be also provided for the opportunity to participate in writing extramural funding, leading a manuscript as a first author as well as patent / invention-disclosure as a co-inventor when a new intellectual property is created.
