JOB : Postdoc and PhD positions - Eindhoven - The Netherlands

Vision List Digest: Article 8, Volume 21, Issue 14
From: "Haar Romenij, B.M. ter"

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Department of Biomedical
Engineering (BME), has a vacancy for:

1 postdoc (2 years) and 1 PhD student (4 years).
Starting Date: August 1, 2002
Subject: JOB : "Bio-inspired Multiscale Image Representation"

The Department of Biomedical Engineering is an inter-university
department in which departments of TU/e and University of Maastricht
closely collaborate. Education and research focus on the human body and
its functioning. BME has biological, medical and technological aspects,
making it strongly multidisciplinary.

Project: In August 2002 a collaborative program will start between 4
European partners. Goal is to develop new theory and practice in
singularity theory, scale-space theory and algorithmics to create
efficient algorithms for solving biomedical computer vision tasks. This
is a new approach to medical image analysis, inspired by multi-scale
models for human visual perception. The overall objective is to
summarize images in a generic tree/graph data structure. We will
investigate how this representation benefits image coding, storage,
shape representations, structural search, matching and indexing, for
tasks like image communication, database search, registration of images,
computer aided diagnosis, and object recognition. Techniques used are:
singularity theory, algorithmics, and scale-space theory.

Profile: The candidate postdoc has an academic and a PhD degree in a
relevant field and is familiar with multi-scale methods. The candidate
PhD student has an academic degree in a relevant field and affinity with
mathematical and statistical methods. The candidates like working in a
multidisciplinary environment with physicists, mathematicians,
biomedical engineers and biologists.

Terms of employment: Postdoc resp. PhD student: Fulltime, 2 years, resp.
4 years with intermediate evaluation after 1 year. Salary will be in
accordance with national university regulations ("CAO Nederlandse
Universiteiten") for postdocs resp. PhD students. Support with personal
development and career planning. Attractive secondary labor conditions
(among others: a compensation of 1818 euro for the production of the PhD
thesis).

Contact: Send your letter of application and CV to TU/e, Dept. of BME,
to Dr. A. A. Klumper ( mailto:a.a.klumper@tue.nl ), Managing Director,
PO Box 513, 5600 MB Eindhoven, mentioning vacancy-number 50.028
(Postdoc) or 50.033 (PhD student). For project information contact dr.
L. Florack ( mailto:l.m.j.florack@tue.nl ).
