This Research Associate (RA) position provides an exciting and unique opportunity to develop signal and image processing and machine learning algorithms for a breakthrough microendoscopy imaging system.

The successful candidate will be a member of the Institute for Digital Communications in the School of Engineering and be jointly based at the Queens Medical Research Institute (QMRI) at the University of Edinburgh. A significant proportion of time will be spent in the QMRI developmental interventional technologies (DIT) facility with daily interaction with clinicians, biologists, chemists, physicists and engineers.

Real-time microendoscopy has been dominated and limited to intensity mode imaging due to existing detector technology. This limitation has been overcome using our new sensors that incorporate intensity and lifetime imaging. This technology enables multidimensional high content high-resolution real-time sensing and imaging of dynamic biological processes and is poised for disruptive healthcare impact.

The RA will aid future deployment of these systems into clinical environments by addressing issues of transmitting high-volumes of data from the sensor head, improving image modelling across fibre-cores and developing algorithms for in-situ quantification of imaging targets such as cellular activation, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target engagement.

The RA will develop real-time algorithms for coding data that will require understanding of FPGA coding for on-board calculations and novel algorithms for fluorescence detection and quantification of chemical imaging agents using image processing techniques.

The post is offered on a full time fixed term period for 36 months.

Salary: £33,199 - £39,609 per annum.
