About this position
University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and Children’s Nebraska are inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate / Postdoctoral Research Fellow in fetal cardiovascular imaging in Omaha, Nebraska, United States.
This postdoctoral opening focuses on fetal ultrasound, fetal echocardiography, obstetric ultrasound, cardiovascular imaging, and research related to congenital heart disease (CHD) and other fetal conditions. The successful candidate will contribute to image review, annotation, quality assessment, quantitative analysis, dataset development, and validation of AI-enabled fetal imaging tools.
The role is highly multidisciplinary and involves collaboration with fetal/pediatric cardiologists, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, sonographers, biomedical engineers, and AI/data science researchers. Responsibilities include structured image annotation, cardiac view identification, image-quality assessment, feature extraction, DICOM organization, de-identification, study design support, IRB activities, and preparation of abstracts, presentations, manuscripts, and grant-related materials.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold an MD, PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent doctoral degree in a relevant field such as medicine, ultrasound medicine, medical imaging, biomedical sciences, cardiovascular sciences, or maternal-fetal medicine. Experience or training in fetal ultrasound, obstetric ultrasound, fetal echocardiography, or related clinical imaging is required. Strong communication skills and interest in collaborative scientific publication are expected.
Preferred experience includes fetal cardiac ultrasound, congenital heart disease, prenatal diagnosis, fetal anomaly assessment, DICOM/PACS, quantitative imaging analysis, statistical analysis, and prior clinical or federally funded research. AI or machine-learning experience is desirable but not required.
How to apply: submit an application through the UNMC PeopleAdmin portal. The posting does not list a deadline in the text provided.
