We are seeking a Senior Scientist, Imaging Analytics to join Interventional Oncology (INTO) and support the scientific application of medical imaging AI across our early-phase oncology portfolio. In this role, you will transform routinely collected oncology trial scans (CT, MRI, PET) into earlier, evidence-based clinical-development decisions. You will advance foundational imaging-AI capabilities, develop novel quantitative imaging metrics, and deliver insights that enhance response assessment, dose optimization, and go/no-go decisions.

 

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for a scientist who is passionate about translating cutting-edge imaging AI from research into real-world clinical impact. You will serve as a scientific bridge across data science, clinical development, and external partners.

 

This position can be based in New Brunswick/Raritan, NJ; Spring House/Horsham, PA; or Boston, MA. 

 

Key Responsibilities 

•   Develop imaging AI and analytics to derive quantitative imaging measures and AI-derived endpoints from trial imaging data (CT, MRI, PET).

•   Collaborate internally and externally to drive scientific innovation in foundational imaging AI that are relevant to oncology drug development — including automated segmentation, radiomics, and multimodal predictive modeling through hands-on research.

•   Provide scientific leadership to external partnerships — including imaging AI vendors, CROs, biomarker companies, academic centers, and imaging OEMs — to accelerate model development, validation, and deployment.

•   Publish and present scientific innovation at top scientific and clinical conferences (e.g., MICCAI, AACR, RSNA, etc.)

Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

(Include any required computer skills, certifications, licenses, languages, etc.)

·       Ph.D. in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related quantitative field.

·       Hands-on expertise across the medical imaging AI stack: deep learning (segmentation, detection, classification, registration), radiomics, and multimodal predictive modeling.

·       Proficiency in Python and PyTorch, with practical experience in medical-imaging libraries such as MONAI, SimpleITK, ITK, PyRadiomics, nnU-Net, 3D Slicer, and OpenCV.

·       Experience with cloud ML infrastructure and MLOps practices for scalable training and inference on imaging data.

·       Extensive experience with the full imaging data workflow: DICOM I/O, visualization, registration, harmonization, annotation, and segmentation of 3D medical images.

·       Strong peer-reviewed publication record and demonstrated ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to both technical and cross-functional audiences.

 

Preferred:

·       Post-doctoral or industry experience developing AI/ML for medical imaging (CT, MRI, PET) in a clinical setting.

·       Experience in analyzing solid-tumor imaging, particularly lung and head & neck (H&N).

·       Track record of developing and applying AI/ML to oncology imaging and within oncology clinical trials.

·       Familiarity with standard oncology endpoints (e.g., RECIST 1.1, iRECIST, PERCIST).

·       Experience building and scaling clinical or imaging AI platforms end-to-end, including data ingestion, harmonization, model inference, visualization, and continuous monitoring.

Experience in sourcing, structuring, and managing external partnerships with imaging-AI vendors, CROs / imaging core labs, biomarker companies, and academic centers.
