Position Summary
- The Department of Neurosurgery at the University at Buffalo seeks a
- full-time Postdoctoral Associate to support an interdisciplinary
- research program focused on image-guided navigation for
- neurovascular interventions.The successful candidate will develop
- and evaluate medical imaging and artificial intelligence methods
- for vascular mapping and navigation using computed tomography (CT)
- and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) data. The candidate will
- work closely with clinicians, engineers, and research collaborators
- to advance project objectives, validate methodologies, achieve
- project milestones, and disseminate findings through publications
- and presentations.
Specific duties include, but are not limited to:
- Develop image-based methods for neurovascular mapping and navigation in support of robotic neurovascular interventions.
- Process and analyze computed tomography and digital subtraction angiography data to characterize vascular anatomy and potential navigation pathways.
