Jobs

The Computer-Aided Diagnosis & Therapy Solutions Group, Siemens Medical Solutions, USA, is building up a world-class R&D team with researchers in MACHINE LEARNING and/or PROBABILISTIC INFERENCE. We have hired several scientists and are looking to continue to grow with multiple immediate and ongoing open positions for Research Scientists (senior and entry level).

Outstanding candidates with the ability to solve challenging medical problems while continuing to publish in leading journals and conferences will find a stimulating and rewarding career at the CAD Group. In this position, you will conduct leading-edge research in reasoning from incomplete and structured medical patient data, classification of patients/diseases, as well as machine learning for automatically extracting patterns from large amounts of numeric, imaging, text, and symbolic data, combine imaging, clinical, and textual information, and other related areas.

Candidates must have significant research background in probabilistic inference and/or machine learning with publications in leading conferences / journals. (Note: You must have a Ph.D., or be graduating soon with a Ph.D., by mid 2006.)

Ideal candidates will have a Ph.D. in CS/EE/Statistics/Applied Math or an engineering discipline with an inter-disciplinary background in machine learning, probabilistic reasoning, and/or statistics, with a proven record in research, innovative thinking, real world problem solving, and fast prototyping.

Primary areas of interest include:

a) All areas of probabilistic inference, Bayesian methods, temporal reasoning & inference, probabilistic graphical models (e.g., Bayes Nets), decision-making under uncertainty, and statistical learning.

b) Classification methods from machine learning and statistics.

Additional areas of interest include natural language processing, text mining, information retrieval, feature extraction, predictive modeling, and mining large databases.

Siemens Medical Solutions is located in Malvern, PA. Malvern lies within the Main Line area of the Philadelphia suburbs (with Philly being less than a hour's drive away).

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package that reflects our leadership status.
