[Insight-users] Open pre-doctoral positions - CILab Barcelona

[Mathieu De Craene]

Open pre-doctoral positions in computational imaging and modelling
Computational Imaging and Simulation Lab - Pompeu Fabra University -
Barcelona – Spain

The Computational Imaging Lab (www.cilab.upf.edu) at the Pompeu Fabra
University in Barcelona is team focused on algorithmic and applied
research in the area of computer vision and computational modelling. The
lab is composed of 25 members working in different domains of medical image
segmentation, statistical shape modelling and analysis, computational
geometry, pattern recognition and image-based and personalised
computational mechanics.
Currently, the lab is engaged in several exciting projects aiming at
personalised physical modelling and simulation of organs where medical
imaging, computational mechanics and biology play an essential role. Our
aim is to use medical imaging technologies with a combination of
computational imaging, modelling and simulation tools to develop personalised tools
for risk assessment and personalised treatment design. In addition, by
collaborating with several teams around Europe and the US, our goal is
to integrate all available information of a patient to personalised
diagnosis and treatment.
In this context, the lab has been recently awarded and coordinates an
Integrated Project funded by the European Commission as well as a
Strategic National Consortium for Technological Innovation, which aim at
personalized and integrative biomedical informatics in the
cardiovascular system.

The CILab is seeking proactive and highly talented young pre-doctoral
researchers with proven track record of scientific motivation.
Candidates should be highly creative, have the ability to carry out
independent research but work embedded in a research team, and should be
endowed with excellent communication skills so as to collaborate with
other peers. The ability to work in a multidisciplinary team and be able
to interact with other disciplines is essential.

All applicants should have a strong background in mathematics and
physics, algorithmics and programming [ITK background and C++ abilities
would be appreciated]. Proficiency in spoken and written English is
compulsory.

Candidates with expertise in the following areas are sought:
       1/ computational imaging: elastic multimodal image registration,
populational atlas construction, matching of high-dimensional images,
diffeormorphic registration, 3D-2D image registration, 3D vision and
reconstruction from projections, computational geometry, information
theoretic approaches to computer vision
       2/ computational modelling and simulation: electromechanical
cardiac modelling, computational fluid dynamics, computational biology,
biophysics, grid computing and numerical computing, multi-scale and
multi-formalism
modelling.

Starting dates will be prior to October 2007; positions will be for a
period of 3 to 4 years.
Interested candidates should submit a letter of purpose indicating your
area of interest, CV including contact details of 3 referees, and, when
available, sample publications to Dr. Alejandro Frangi
[alejandro.frangi at upf.edu] and Mathieu De Craene
[mathieu.decraene at upf.edu] at your earliest convenience.
