About this position

Vanderbilt University’s Machine Automation, Perception, and Learning (MAPLE) Lab is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to develop augmented reality systems for intraoperative guidance in head and neck tumor surgery. The position is based in the Department of Computer Science and is led by Principal Investigator Jie Ying Wu.

The researcher will help advance augmented-reality-based surgical guidance toward cadaveric and translational use. The project sits at the intersection of mixed reality, computer vision, medical robotics, and image-guided procedures, with opportunities to work closely with engineers, human-factors researchers, and surgeons.

Research activities include refining and validating AR interfaces for intraoperative head and neck surgery, integrating soft-tissue deformation models for cadaver specimens, improving markerless registration methods for head and neck anatomy, and developing 3D scanning and reconstruction technologies for specimen scanning.

The postdoctoral researcher will conduct independent and collaborative research, contribute to engineering and software design, implementation, analysis, maintenance, and experimentation, and support the preparation of manuscripts, proposals, and conference presentations. The role also involves maintaining organized research data, communicating with the research team about data quality, and assisting with general laboratory operations.

The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary research environment focused on translating mixed-reality and computer-vision technologies into clinically relevant surgical guidance.

Funding details

Salary and benefits are commensurate with experience and follow Vanderbilt University postdoctoral guidelines. No specific salary amount or tuition funding is stated.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Required qualifications include solid programming skills, particularly proficiency in Unity; hands-on experience developing for HoloLens 2 and/or Magic Leap 2; demonstrated ability to work creatively in a multidisciplinary team including physicians and engineers; and strong written and oral communication skills. Preferred qualifications include experience with surgical navigation, image-guided intervention, medical image registration, RGBD camera reconstruction, computer-aided design, user or phantom/cadaver evaluation studies, and peer-reviewed publications in medical robotics, medical image computing, or mixed-reality venues.

How to apply

Email Jie Ying Wu at [email protected] with a cover letter describing your research interests and relevant experience, a curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of three references. Applications will be reviewed immediately and until the position is filled.
