Host fellowships for Early Stage Research Training


Within the scope of the European Union "MARIE CURIE ACTIONS, Host 
fellowships for Early Stage Research Training (EST)", project "020884-2 
Compu Surge" at Ruprecht-Karls-University and at Karlsruhe Technical 
University, the following positions for doctoral candidates are 
available starting within the first half of 2006:


    1. 4 doctoral candidate positions for physicians for a maximum of 4 
years
    2. 4 doctoral candidate positions for engineers for a maximum of 4 years


The aim of this project is to achieve the interdisciplinary formulation 
and clinical introduction of new methods in the field of computer-aided 
surgery.

In all sub-projects one doctor and one engineer each co-operate.


Sub-projects 1 and 2 are focussed on applications for oral and 
maxillofacial surgery, sub-projects 3 and 4 on neurosurgical applications:

    1. The aim of sub-project 1 is to develop a navigated milling 
platform for application on bones, which automatically leads the surgeon 
onto a pre-planned path for osteotomy.
    2. The aim of sub-project 2 is to construct a mechanical holding 
device for bone fragments mobilised during displacement osteotomies.
    3. The aim of sub-project 3 is the development of a stereoscopic 
surgical microscope that projects three-dimensional planning information 
into the field of view by means of extended reality methods.
    4. In sub-project 4, an optically navigated endoscope will be 
developed that will be appropriate for application in oral and 
maxillofacial surgery as well as in post-traumatic neurosurgery.


This call is addressed to european, nongerman fellows (or up to 30% 
noneuropean fellows), who did not stay in Germany the last three years 
and did not work in Germany for the last 6 months.
