Job Description

A postdoc position is available in the lab of Geoff Goodhill at Washington University in St Louis for an NIH-funded project to help improve early diagnosis of ASD by using cutting-edge tools from machine learning and computational ethology. Motor differences are one of the earliest markers of increased ASD likelihood in infancy. Our goal is to develop broadly-applicable diagnostic tools which combine automated extraction of kinematic features from video data with new machine learning techniques to capture ASD motor function variability. As a first step, we are applying cutting-edge developments in computer vision, machine learning and computational ethology to a rich, longitudinal video dataset of infants being screened for ASD.

Requirements

  • The ideal applicant would have a strong background in all of ASD
  • human movement
  • machine learning and computational ethology. However
  • given the rarity of this combination we are happy to consider candidates with only some of this background
  • but a strong desire to learn about the other elements.
