Data Scientist
The Tearney Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital is leading the way in transforming the current diagnostic paradigm through the invention and translation of new noninvasive, high-resolution optical imaging modalities that enable disease diagnosis from living patients without excising tissues from the body. Led by Guillermo (Gary) Tearney, MD, PhD, the lab’s 80+ person multidisciplinary team invents, validates and translates novel devices that use light to conduct microscopy in living patients. The goal of the laboratory’s research is to improve understanding and diagnosis of disease by imaging the human body at the highest possible level of detail in vivo.
Job Description:
We are seeking a highly motivated data scientist to join our team to advance state-of-the-art in medical image analysis to solve challenging problems in processing, evaluating and interpreting clinical data. The data scientist will work in a highly collaborative setting, frequently interacting with the technology and clinical teams within and outside the lab. In addition to mastering technical expertise, this role will also provide a unique opportunity to build clinical, research, publication and leadership experience.
