[Ramtin Shams]

*Academic Positions in Medical Image Analysis and High Performance 
Computing at the Australian National University*

The ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science is offering up to 
two Level B academic positions in the area of Medical Image Analysis 
(MIA) and High Performance Computing (HPC). The appointments are related 
to research projects partly funded by the Australian Research Council 
(ARC) and Microsoft Research. The projects are multidisciplinary and 
involve high performance and parallel computing in medical image 
analysis with applications to ultrasound modelling, surgical simulation, 
and real-time multi-modality registration for intraoperative 
applications. The high performance platform of choice is a cluster of 
graphics processing units (GPUs) used for massively parallel processing.

The positions are open to early career candidates with post-doctoral 
experience and/or recent PhD graduates in Engineering and Computer 
Science with an outstanding research record and publications in the MIA 
or HPC. Students who are close to completion of their PhD will also be 
considered. The positions have the benefit of being research-intensive 
and present a significant opportunity for early career researchers to 
focus on building their research and publication portfolio and be 
involved in co-supervision of higher degree research students.
