Jin Ho Chang

Professor Jin Ho Chang’s Medical Acoustics Fusion Innovation Lab at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in Daegu, South Korea, is recruiting a funded Postdoctoral Research Associate through the InnoCORE Initiative and Bio-Embodied Physical AI Research Center. The project focuses on Physical AI and bio-embodied AI for AI-driven robotic ultrasound imaging systems. Research tasks include developing intelligent and autonomous robotic ultrasound scanning algorithms and systems; integrating deep learning, edge AI, and foundation models with acoustic sensing and robotic manipulators; and validating systems using phantom, ex-vivo, and real-time clinical scanning environments. Applicants should hold or expect to complete a Ph.D. in Robotics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field before the start date. Relevant experience includes AI-driven robotic systems, autonomous medical robotics, manipulator kinematics, trajectory planning, computer vision or medical-image guidance, ultrasound signal and image processing, and transducer systems. Strong skills in Python, C/C++, ROS/ROS2, and PyTorch are desired, along with publications in reputable journals or top-tier conferences. The annual salary is KRW 85,000,000. The preferred start date is December 1, 2026, with flexibility subject to discussion. Applications are accepted immediately until the position is filled. Candidates should email a CV containing a complete publication list and contact details for two references to Prof. Jin Ho Chang.
