Healthcare is one of the most promising research directions in artificial intelligence (AI) for industry, public health and academia, and AI-driven solutions have the potential to make significant impact in society by enabling better patient management through improved diagnosis and treatment.

The Singapore National Eye Centre/Singapore Eye Research Institute (SNEC/SERI), in collaboration with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), is seeking a highly qualified individual to take on a significant role in this exciting and rapidly developing research direction at the cross-roads of healthcare and artificial intelligence.

He/ She will be expected, but not limited to:

• Develop machine-learning and deep-learning solutions to address current clinical challenges, including segmentation, detection, and prediction, through the use of large-scale medical/ophthalmic images and data from state-of-the-art clinical platforms
• Perform research in medical image processing and develop novel approaches to multimodal imaging (2D and 3D) using imaging systems ranging from current clinical systems to novel imaging prototypes
• Conduct and coordinate research within SNEC/SERI and NTU in line with its research strategy and under the direction and supervision of the Principal Investigators and Collaborators
• Manage these research projects in a team-based, cross-functional research environment, which include supervising doctoral and master students, research assistants, and technical and other support staff
• Publish research outcomes in appropriate journals of international standing and to publish and disseminate the result of research and scholarship in other reputable outlets
• Attend and present research findings and papers at academic and professional conferences, and to contribute to the external visibility of the department
• Draft research report for Principal Investigators
• Undertake specific roles and management functions as may be reasonably required by the Principal Investigators
• Attend meetings and to participate (where necessary) in other committees and working groups within SNEC/SERI and NTU
• Ensure compliance with health and safety in all aspects of work

Job Requirements

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical or Information Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related discipline
• Previous experience in OCT, software development in OCT and OCT signal analysis would be an advantage
• Possess good programming and image processing skills (e.g., MATLAB, Python)
• Able to work independently, as well as in a team-based, cross-functional research team

The Ocular Epidemiological Research Group at SERI conducts ophthalmic epidemiologic research in Singapore and Asia under the Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases (SEED) programme collectively involving over 10,000 study subjects, with comprehensive clinical, image and genetic data. One of the projects including SEED data is ‘Diabetes studY in Nephropathy And other Microvascular cOmplications (DYNAMO-II)’. DYNAMO-II aims to determine the longitudinal relationship between retinal imaging parameters and long-term risk and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and determine the predictive value of retinal vascular imaging measures in identifying patients at risk of CKD, and other adverse outcomes including renal failure, cardiovascular disease and deaths using both data-derived machine learning and retinal image-based “deep learning” algorithms with validation in different local and international cohorts. DYNAMO also includes a clinical cohort that recruits diabetic patients from clinics to predict the progression of CKD.

Job Responsibilities

• Perform data analyses including (but not limited to) data harmonization, data visualization, survival analyses, regression, and predictive modelling (traditional as well as machine learning models)
• Assist the Principal Investigator in developing and writing analytical plans including sample size calculations for grant applications and statistical analysis and interpretation of results for scientific manuscripts
• Proficient in using advanced data analytics software (e.g., STATA, SAS, R, Python)
• Interpretation and presentation of study results
• Read current literature to keep abreast of novel analytical methods, present them to the PI and key investigators and apply them for suitable projects
• Participate in the preparation of abstracts, posters and presentations
• Ability Perform rigorous quality checks to ensure the integrity, accuracy and completeness of data and planning timelines for delivering the results

Job Requirements:

• A Master’s /Bachelor degree in epidemiology, biostatistics or relevant disciplines
• Over 2 years’ experience working in research or healthcare with a Bachelor degree
• Good knowledge in data management and statistical analysis
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and to multi-task several projects at a time

Note: Eventual package offered will commensurate with qualifications and experience.
