Fall 2007: Virginia Tech

Postdoctoral position, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg VA

The Bioimaging Systems Lab at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), Blacksburg VA, USA, has an opening for a postdoc beginning August 2007. The postdoc will be expected to develop mathematical models and software for the registration of structural MRI data sets. The candidate should have a strong background in applied math (specifically differential geometry) and computational approaches to solving PDEs. Solid programming skills in C++ and/or Java, and experience in working in a Unix environment is required; experience with neuroimaging methods is desired. The applicant should have excellent demonstrated skills in written and spoken English.

Applicants should have a recent Ph.D. in one of the following or related fields: Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math or Physics. The position is renewable on a yearly basis for up to 2 years based on performance. If interested, please email a full CV in PDF to clwyatt@vt.edu. Interested persons may apply for the position online at http://jobs.vt.edu.

Spring 2007: University of Texas - M. D. Anderson Cancer Center

The Image Processing & Visualization Laboratory (IPVL) has opened positions for a Programmer Analyst, Post Doctorate and Research Scientist to support its core mission in America’s largest cancer center.

Images handled by the IPVL span the full spectrum of human and animal (small to large) imaging instrumentation for applications that range from research to clinic, all in direct and close interaction with departments and investigators throughout the institution. Computer equipment includes high-end clinical workstations and software, as well as high-end platforms under Windows, Linux or OSX for developments with OpenSource toolkits, IDL or MatLab. Other available equipment include database and compute servers (Windows, Unix/Solaris/Linux), as well as a state-of-the-art 512 CPUs cluster and 32 CPUs SMP, both shared with the institution and entirely dedicated to research.

The successful candidates will need to demonstrate – in various capacities that depend on the targeted position - expertise and interest in the design, development, implementation or exploitation of advanced imaging applications, ideally in a biomedical setting and with multidimensional, multimodality and quantitative imaging for clinical and research applications. Topics of particular interests are 3D+ imaging (e.g., rendering, segmentation, navigation), non-rigid registration, parametric and quantitative imaging, kinetic modeling, etc. Expertise in modern and relevant languages and toolkits (e.g., C/C++, VTK, ITK, IGSTK) as well as in matching development tools and environments is considered an asset.

If you believe your experience matches any of these profiles, please send your CV and other relevant information (e.g., three references, statement of interest/qualification for the specific position) to:
