Postdoctoral Research Associate - AI for Medical Imaging & Biomedical Informatics at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN

Postdoctoral Research Associate - AI for Medical Imaging & Biomedical Informatics at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. Full-time. Est. up to $130k. Apply with swipeandhired.

Dr. Pritam Mukherjee's lab is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to develop advanced machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and foundational AI models for medical imaging, with a primary focus on radiology and a broader interest in biomedical informatics. This role is well-suited to someone who thinks like a researcher first: someone who tracks the frontier of AI research (including large language models and multimodal foundation models) and translates emerging methods into novel approaches for imaging problems such as segmentation, quantification, detection, and image-based biomarker discovery across CT, MRI, and X-ray. We welcome applicants from both PhD and MD (or MD/PhD) backgrounds.

This position sits within a well-resourced, data-rich research environment, with access to large, multi-institutional datasets and St. Jude Children's Hospital's excellent high-performance computing resources. Some datasets will already be curated, but others will require the lab to perform its own data curation and annotation, so experience with these tasks is a valuable asset.

This role offers strong support for career development: the lab is happy to support and encourage postdocs interested in pursuing independent funding, such as a K99/R00 or similar career development award, and there are opportunities to gain mentorship experience (e.g., with junior lab members) for those interested, though this is not a requirement of the role.

This is a 2–3 year appointment, with a flexible start date.
