A Research Associate position is available in the laboratory of Ivan Pedrosa, M.D., Ph.D., in the Department of Radiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center to perform research in Radiogenomics and Machine Learning Approaches to Develop Predictive and Prognostic Biomarkers in Kidney Cancer. The ideal applicant would be able to identify and perform lesion segmentation of primary renal tumors and metastatic sites in patients with kidney cancer on cross-sectional imaging studies, primarily computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The candidate must have formal training in image interpretation or at least 2 years of experience working independently in annotation of radiology studies. Experience in image analysis for clinical trials (e.g. RECIST) is welcome. The applicant is also expected to participate in the data analysis, writing of manuscripts, and abstract submissions to scientific meetings.

The Pedrosa Lab is located in the Department of Radiology and Advanced Imaging Research Center (AIRC) at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Primary investigations will use imaging data from a large cohort of patients enrolled in multi-institutional Phase III clinical trials. Additional image datasets are generated in state-of–the art CT and MRI scanners at UT Southwestern. There will be close interactions with investigators in the Kidney Cancer Program (KCP) of the Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center.
