The ideal candidate is knowledgeable, self-motivated, and creatively inclined with strong interest and extensive experience in computer vision, deep learning, and medical image analysis. The position will focus on application and refinement of J&J's deep learning algorithm portfolio to quantitate histopathology, in addition to implementation of novel state of the art techniques. These innovative technologies improve our understanding of cellular organization and tissue structure, ultimately enhancing clinical trial efficacy and efficiency. This position offers the opportunity to work within a cross-functional team in a pharmaceutical environment. In addition to gaining technical exposure through the various projects the team is undertaking, you will also gain valuable insights into how robust and scalable algorithms are developed to support clinical trials, under the mentorship of experienced scientists, while contributing to initiatives aimed at improving global health. Key Responsibilities: * Conceive, design, develop, implement and validate innovative computer vision solutions addressing high-priority challenges in microscopy. * Collaborate closely both with internal and external cross-functional teams of scientists, engineers, and clinicians, to advance algorithm and product development to improve project outcomes. * Shape internal and external collaborations and define scope of research questions * Clearly communicate complex technical methodologies and present findings to diverse audiences and stakeholders to support informed decision-making. * Extract insight from complex, unstructured microscopy images to improve drug discovery and healthcare (e.g., disease identification, patient stratification, disease insights, therapy response). * Prepare and draft manuscripts outlining development methodologies to contribute to the scientific community. ## Related Videos - [Getting Started with Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/260-getting-started-with-machine-learning) - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [Machine learning in the browser with TensorFlowjs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/155-machine-learning-in-the-browser-with-tensorflowjs) - [Generate AI in the Browser with Chrome AI - Raymond Camden](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1770-generate-ai-in-the-browser-with-chrome-ai-raymond-camden) - [Unboxing the DeepFace](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/335-unboxing-the-deepface) - [30 Golden Rules of Deep Learning Performance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/11-30-golden-rules-of-deep-learning-performance) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
