Postdoctoral Researcher – AI Foundation Models for Breast Cancer Recurrence

In collaboration with the University of Copenhagen

We are seeking two postdoctoral researchers to join ScreenPoint Medicals Innovation team in Copenhagen in a joint project with the University of Copenhagen. You will be employed by ScreenPoint Medical Danish office and work in a team on cutting-edge foundation models for breast cancer recurrence while being mentored by a professor in Computer Science and AI at the University of Copenhagen.

This unique position bridges industry and academia: you will have access to ScreenPoints large-scale clinical breast imaging data and product expertise while benefiting from an academic research environment publication freedom and world-class scientific supervision.

You will be part of a highly motivated and interdisciplinary team of experts in breast imaging artificial intelligence and clinical research working in close collaboration with the Innovation team in Nijmegen and Copenhagen.

Your responsibilities

• Design and develop robust foundation and world models (e.g. vision transformers vision-language models LeJepa) tailored to breast imaging data.
• Apply and adapt foundation models to downstream tasks focused on breast cancer detection and risk in women with earlier diagnosed cancers.
  
• Collaborate closely with ScreenPoints AI Algorithm Lead and AI Research Engineers to ensure robust integration between foundation models MLOps infrastructure and downstream evaluation metrics.
  
• Perform and report on in-depth model analysis including calibration subgroup performance and failure-mode assessment.
  
• Publish findings in high-impact peer-reviewed journals and present at leading international conferences supported by your academic supervisor at the University of Copenhagen.

Experience and skills

• PhD in Computer Science Machine Learning Biomedical Engineering Applied Mathematics Physics Statistics or a closely related technical field.
  
• Proven research experience with foundation models and state-of-the-art deep learning methods (vision transformers vision-language models self-supervised learning).
  
• Publication track record.
• Experience in medical imaging or clinical AI research is strongly preferred.
• Ability to translate clinical or scientific questions into appropriate modeling approaches (e.g. classification risk prediction longitudinal modeling).
  
• Strong understanding of model evaluation calibration robustness and subgroup performance in real-world datasets.
  
• Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch) and experience working in Linux-based environments and GPU clusters.
  
• Excellent written and spoken English and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
  

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with breast data (e.g. xray MRI).
  
• Familiarity with NLP LLMs or vision-language models (VLMs).
  
• Experience with self-supervised or weakly supervised learning on large-scale datasets
  
• Prior publications in top-tier AI or medical imaging venues (NeurIPS ICCV MICCAI CVPR etc.).
  

What we offer:

• Two full-time postdoctoral positions based in Copenhagen Denmark with a hybrid working arrangement.
  
• Employment at ScreenPoint Medical with co-supervision from a professor in Computer Science and AI at the University of Copenhagen.
  
• Access to large-scale high-quality clinical breast imaging datasets through ScreenPoints industry partnerships and clinical collaborations.
  
• A collaborative ambitious and international environment spanning both industry and academia.
