The Ohio State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead cutting-edge research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and dental health, with a focus on building multimodal AI models to predict dental caries progression.
Requirements
- PhD in computer science, biomedical informatics, electrical engineering, or a related field
- Demonstrated expertise in machine learning, deep learning, and image-based modeling
- A strong publication record in top-tier venues (e.g., MICCAI, CVPR, NeurIPS, AAAI, or related)
- Experience with multimodal data integration, longitudinal outcome prediction, or medical/dental imaging
- Background in radiographic image processing or a strong interest in clinically grounded AI development
- Prior knowledge of dentistry is preferred
- Experience with programming languages such as Python, R, or MATLAB
Responsibilities
- Developing deep learning and computer vision models using longitudinal dental imaging data—primarily intraoral radiographs—integrated with clinical and behavioral data collected from multiple collaborating institutions
- Designing multimodal learning architectures (e.g., attention-based fusion, progression-aware temporal modeling)
- Performing rigorous model validation
- Helping translate research findings into clinically meaningful insights in close collaboration with dental experts
- Leading efforts to build multimodal AI models to predict dental caries progression
- Working on developing deep learning models using longitudinal dental imaging data
- Collaborating with dental experts to translate research findings into clinically meaningful insights
Other
- Final candidates are subject to successful completion of a background check
- A drug screen or physical may be required during the post offer process
- OSU will not sponsor applicants for work visas for this position
- PhD degree required
- Cover letter, CV, and contact information for three professional references required
