“Research for a life without cancer" is our mission at the German Cancer Research Center. We investigate how cancer develops, identify cancer risk factors and look for new cancer prevention strategies. We develop new methods with which tumors can be diagnosed more precisely and cancer patients can be treated more successfully. Every contribution counts – whether in research, administration or infrastructure. This is what makes our daily work so meaningful and exciting.
The Division of Digital Prevention, Diagnostics and Therapy Guidance is seeking for the next possible date a Data Scientist in AI-driven Skin Cancer Research.
The main goal of the division is the development of robust and interpretable digital biomarkers to improve prevention, non-invasive early detection, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches. We are an interdisciplinary team of 30 people, mostly data scientists, doctors and molecular biologists.
Aufgaben
Help shape the future of personalized skin cancer diagnostics by developing AI-driven methods for image classification. We seek real-world impact, meaning the project is in collaboration with a large German company (HEINE Optotechnik), to help patients benefit from the developed solutions as fast as possible via a market-ready medical device.
Your Tasks Will Include
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who is passionate about AI in data research and eager to translate machine learning innovations into real-world clinical applications.
Required Qualifications
Please submit your CV, cover letter, and academic transcripts via our online portal. We look forward to your application.
