Research Scientist

ContextVision is a global market leader in image processing and analysis. Our products are integrated in a large number of medical devices globally. Our technology is based on 30+ years of research and experience combined with the latest advances in artificial intelligence built on deep learning.
We are now seeking a Research Scientist to join our R&D team. As a member of the R&D team you will develop image processing and image analysis algorithms together with application specialists and clinical experts. You may work in a product development project or in a research collaboration, often with international partners. There will from time to time be opportunities to publish your research.
The ideal candidate has a curious mindset, a high intellectual capacity and a passion for problem solving. We look for experience in image processing and/or machine learning applications, provided either from an academic career (PhD level) or by a relevant course curriculum combined with project examples (MSc level). We value the scientific method of formulating and testing hypotheses, and iteratively working towards increased knowledge in projects. This requires exploration, innovation but also planning and a structured way of working with your team members. The work is data driven: Understanding and managing data is an important part of your work in designing algorithms and training models, as well as properly evaluating the results. The output of your work will lead to products to be used in clinical routine to support diagnosis of patients. Therefore, properly managing traceability of experiments, source code and data is also important for reaching product level quality related to medical device regulations.
