Postdoctoral Fellow (PREP0004368)

Job description

Description PREP Research Associate: This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Professional Research Experience Program (PREP). NIST recognizes that its research staff may want to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest and, therefore, requires those institutions to be recipients of a PREP award. The PREP program involves staff from a wide range of backgrounds conducting scientific research across various fields. Individuals in this position will perform technical work supporting the collaboration's scientific research. Research Title: Reference Material creation to Calibrate AI Solutions across labs The work will entail: Overview: ITL’s role in the IMS project “Distributed Manufacturing of First-In-Class NIST Traceable Active Cell Reference Materials” involves the following tasks: (1) the design and training of convolutional neural networks (CNN) for cell segmentation, cell division detection across time, and label-free cell viability assessment under different imaging modalities, and (2) the design of reference materials with which to transfer AI models across labs. Our success depends...
