[Insight-developers] 3-year PhD Studentship Sponsored by Biotronics3D and CASE in London

[Haralambos Hatzakis]

Biotronics3D in a partnership with:
*        Intersect and the Imaging Faradays and, 
*        the Centre for Measurement and Information in Medicine (MIM
Centre), School of Informatics, City University, 
have one Industrial CASE studentship available. The research is on
advanced medical imaging techniques for the diagnosis and assessment of
chronic conditions and uses state of the art technologies and methods.
The research also benefits from ample clinical input from two major
hospitals in London. 
The degree will be awarded by the City University, London.
 
What is in it for the student?
A student is recruited to carry out a programme of industry-defined
research, and is supervised by both the industrial (Biotronics3D) and
academic partners (MIM Centre, at City University's School of
Informatics).  
The student gets a funded PhD with an enhanced stipend and has the
opportunity to work on a project with industrial relevance and exposure.
He/she also benefits from a programme of enhanced skills training to
include a Faraday Associates workshop that deals with issues of
commercialising technology.  There is also the option of a 6-week
secondment to the Faraday Partnership for further skills development and
examination of broader exploitation issues on behalf of the sponsoring
company.

 


Conditions

*      Students must spend time in industry (minimum 3 months)
*      Project must present at one Intersect/Imaging meeting
*      Students must be released for a 1 week workshop
*      Student must be a UK citizen or EU national with 3 years

Biotronics3D (www.biotronics3d.com) is a new and dynamic venture of
advanced medical technologies. We market novel and innovative solutions
to the biomedical international market. It is funded by a group of
scientists and businessmen, with ample experience in this market sector.
The patented technology allows doctors to improve their diagnostic
efficiency and accuracy via a set of software and hardware tools. We
have many strategic partnerships with Universities and hospitals. Our
current strategy is to expand our research and development group.
 
The Imaging Faraday Partnership (www.imagingfp.org.uk/) exists to bring
new research, products and processes to commercial markets, with
emphasis on the application of electronic imaging. This requires an
exchange of information, ideas and requirements between researchers and
those who apply technology in industry, medicine, creative media and
other fields. An important consequence is the ability to incorporate
business need into future UK and European research agenda.
 
The Centre for Measurement and Information in Medicine (MIM Centre)
(www.city.ac.uk/mim/), a Department of the School of Informatics, has
for more than 15 years been a designated Research Centre of City
University, developing advanced concepts, methods and techniques of
medical and health informatics for application in the solution of
clinical and healthcare problems. City University's School of
Informatics undertakes world-class research in strategic areas that
include artificial intelligence, geographic information systems,
human-computer interaction, medical informatics, software and
requirements engineering, and systems dependability.
