[Imageworld] Research Studentship in Multi-channel registration for inter-patient alignment of brain images — University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science

[Julia Schnabel]

Research Studentship in "Multi-channel registration for inter-patient alignment of brain images"

Closing date - Noon, 14 April 2012

3.5-year CASE funded D.Phil studentship, available from 1.10.2012 (subject to eligibility 
requirements below).

Research Area

This is a CASE studentship with EPSRC and Siemens Molecular Imaging, Oxford. The objective of this 
project is to investigate and develop new methodologies for multi-channel, inter-patient 
registration of brain images obtained using both anatomical and functional imaging modalities. This 
novel registration tool will be primarily developed and used to improve understanding and diagnosis 
of dementia (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease).

Candidate Requirements

Prospective candidates will be judged according to how well they meet the following criteria:
Have obtained, or are about to complete, a first class honours degree in Engineering, Physics, 
Mathematics or Computer Science; Experience in (medical) image analysis and medical imaging as part 
of their course, or as demonstrated by a publication at an international conference or an 
international journal; Good English written and spoken communication skills; Excellent record of 
academic and/or professional achievement

To apply for this studentship, candidates should check their eligibility as laid out on 
http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk/about-us/jobs/siemens-jas , and submit the requested documentation to 
recruitment at eng.ox.ac.uk. Please quote Siemens-JAS in all correspondence to the Department and in 
your graduate application.

Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.

Sincerely
Julia Schnabel
