Jobs

The Computer-Aided Diagnosis & Therapy Solutions Group, Siemens Medical Solutions, USA, Inc. is building a world-class R&D team with researchers in machine learning and/or probabilistic inference. We have hired several scientists and continue to grow with multiple, immediate and ongoing, 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 in 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 machine learning (classification) and/or probabilistic inference, with publications in leading conferences / journals.

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. Database and/or medical experience is a plus, but not required.

Primary areas of interest include:

• All areas of probabilistic inference, Bayesian methods, temporal reasoning & inference, probabilistic graphical models (e.g., Bayes Nets), decision-making under uncertainty, and statistical learning.
• Classification methods from machine learning and statistics, and/or neural networks.

(Note: To be considered for this position, you must have a Ph.D., or be graduating fairly soon with a Ph.D. -- latest by summer/fall 2004.)

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 one hour drive away). We offer a competitive salary and benefits package that reflects our leadership status.
