************** Seeking Image Analysis Post Docs *****************

Post Doctoral Fellow in Medical Image Processing and Analysis

The Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute at the University
of Utah invites applications for a post doctoral researcher in the
area medical image processing. This position is primarily supported by
an NIH National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) for Integrative
Biomedical Computing.  The center combines expertise in medical image
processing, modeling, simulation, and visualization.  The primary
responsibilities of this position are research and development in
areas of medical image processing methods that are relevant to the
needs of our biological and medical collaborators.  These relevant
areas of medical image processing include filtering and segmentation,
statistical shape analysis, geometry processing, and image
registration.  The candidate will also work with SCI Institute
researchers, software developers, and external collaborators to
oversee the implementation of these new methods and algorithms into an
integrated computational environment.  Finally this candidate is
expected to publish novel findings in internationally recognized
scientific venues.

Position Requirements:
* Ph.D. in computer science, mathematics, engineering, or physics
* Expert knowledge in one or more areas of medical image processing
* Advanced programming skills, especially C++
* Excellent oral and written communication skills (English)
* A willingness to participate in a highly diverse, multi-disciplinary
   environment

Salary and benefits:
The salary is competitive and negotiable.  The University of Utah
offers a comprehensive benefits package.

Start date and employment:
Start date is immediate or negotiable.  The initial appointment will
be for a one-year period, with the possibility of an extension to
multiple years based upon performance.

To apply:
Send CV and list of 3 references to Ross Whitaker
(whitaker at cs.utah.edu).  Inquiries are welcome.

The SCI Institute:
The SCI Institute is a world-class research institute on the
University of Utah campus. We are a highly dynamic, driven group of
more than 100 faculty, staff and students. The overarching goals of
the SCI Institute's scientific computing research are to create new
techniques, tools, and systems, by which scientists may solve problems
affecting various aspects of human life. We believe that to advance
the state-of-the-art and create meaningful computational solutions for
such complex systems, one needs to advance research in a number of
areas within scientific computing, including: image processing,
visualization, simulation, and modeling.  Furthermore, to enable such
new algorithmic and software research to have real impact outside of
scientific computing and computer science, these components must be
integrated with data and application specific knowledge within usable
software systems. The SCI Institute presents a highly demanding work
environment that can be deeply rewarding for motivated, and talented
individuals.  For more information see http://www.sci.utah.edu.

The University of Utah, an AA/EO employer, encourages applications
from women and minorities, and provides reasonable accommodation to
the known disabilities of applicants and employees.
