The ideal candidate brings a strong background in Python programming, machine learning, and digital image processing, with a collaborative mindset and the ability to communicate complex concepts to interdisciplinary teams including pathologists and biologists.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and implement computational pipelines for image processing of whole-slide histopathology data
• Leverage traditional image processing and modern machine learning techniques (e.g., segmentation, classification)
• Collaborate closely with pathologists to ensure image analysis workflows align with biological questions
• Utilize commercial and open-source pathology software (e.g., OpenSlide, HALO, Visiopharm, QuPath)
• Handle gigapixel-scale whole-slide images using efficient and scalable methods
• Conduct data visualization and statistical analysis to support preclinical research
• Implement version control, reproducible workflows, and contribute to cross-functional collaborations
• Optionally contribute to deep learning model development using PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Keras
• Participate in pipeline orchestration, HPC model training, and possibly cloud-based deployments (AWS EC2)
• Communicate analysis results and computational strategies effectively across scientific disciplines

Required Qualifications

• Education: MS or PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field
• Experience: 2+ years of hands-on experience in image analysis or computational pathology

Technical Skills (Required):

• Python proficiency, including NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, OpenCV
• Image analysis using both traditional and machine learning techniques
• Whole-slide image (WSI) processing using tools such as OpenSlide
• Version control with Git and use of GitHub or GitLab
• Strong understanding of statistical analysis and data visualization tools

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have):

• Deep learning expertise (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Detectron2)
• Experience with HPC environments and job schedulers like SLURM
• Familiarity with commercial pathology software (HALO, Visiopharm, QuPath)
• Experience with workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Dagster, Airflow)
• GUI development using Tkinter or PyQt
• Cloud deployment using AWS EC2

Soft Skills

• Strong collaborative mindset and willingness to iterate based on feedback
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, especially across interdisciplinary teams
