Yet another outstanding opportunity in morphometrics by and for our
European friends. Also posted on the "Jobs" page at www.morphometrics.org.

--------------------
The workgroup "Experimental Radiology" at the Medical University Innsbruck,
Dept. of Radiology II, offers a Marie Curie fellowship (EVAN Training
Network) in the field of 3D medical image processing.
The main objective of the project is to develop a tool for planning custom
implants of large bone defects of the skull. Therefore it is necessary to
reconstruct the missing cranial bone with implementation of tools and
algorithms, the so called 3D-Geometric Morphometrics (GMM).
The aim of this project is a toolbox incorporating not only GMM but also
apriori knowledge of the skull shape (for example an atlas of different
skull shapes) for bone implant optimisation.
It is intended that the fellow will benefit from professional exchange
with our partner institutions within the EVAN Training Network. The fellow
has the possibility to work on a doctoral thesis.
The canditate will work on following topics:
* MRI and CT imaging
* Image segmentation and visualization
* Implementation of GMM to analyze the cranial shape and to calculate the
custom implant
* Development of a phantom for accuracy measurements
Applicants should hold a M.Sc. university (or comparable) degree in either
informatics, mathematics, electronics, physics, or related displicines.
We expect mathematical and programmimg skills (e.g C/C++, Java, OpenGL) as
well as interest to work in close collaboration with surgeons within a
clinical environment. Experiences in 3d-medical image processing,
computational geometry and morphometrics is appreciated.
According to EU regulations for the appointment of an Early Stage
Researcher the M.Sc. or equivalent access to doctoral studies may not
date back more than 4 years and the applicants must hold a citizenship
others than Austrian. Applications should include cover letter, curriculum
vitae, and statement of research experience and interests. We particularly
encourage women to participate in this application.
Marie Curie fellowship will be available for 18 month, scheduled to begin
in October 2006.
