JOB TITLE 

Intelligent Decision Support Systems for the prediction of Diabetic Retinopathy Evolution

Researcher career profile (R2)

JOB DESCRIPTION 

The Pere Virgili Institute for Health Research (IISPV) is an institution that integrates research in the field of biomedicine in the “Camp de Tarragona” and the “Terres de l’Ebre”. The IISPV is the instrument that the university hospitals of both health regions have been endowed with (Joan XXIII University Hospital of Tarragona, Verge de la Cinta Hospital of Tortosa, Sant Joan de Reus University Hospital, Institut Pere Mata University Hospital of Reus) and Rovira and Virgili University, in order to bring together and manage biomedical research and innovation in the territory.

This job position belongs to the Ophthalmology research group at IISPV. This is a research group recognized with the “Consolidated” label by the Catalan Research Agency (Government of Catalonia). The ophthalmology research group is focused on two specific areas: research into high-prevalence retinal diseases (diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, myopia and vascular occlusions) focusing on developing systems. to help the clinical diagnosis for these diseases and, at the same time, to develop automatic reading systems in them.

The job position is linked to the internacional research project Diabetic Retinopathy risk assessment using image-based deeplearning and clinical variables (RetinaReadRisk) that has received co-funding from the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Health and the European Union under Grant Agreement 230123. Its main goal is to build clinical computer-based decision support systems to improve the diagnosis and follow-up of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The goal is to obtain new computer models for the prediction of DR grade evolution using temporal data from clinical and analytical risk factors. Artificial Intelligence methods will be used to build such intelligent models, specially focusing on machine learning techniques and decision support algorithms.

Number of available positions:1

The selected candidate will perform the following tasks: 
1.	Design and development of new DR evolution models.
2.	DR patient’s data pre-processing.
3.	Testing of the new models with patient’s data.
4.	Publication of the results in rellevant journals and conferences.
