in collaboration with Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK

INRIA Sophia-Antipolis and Microsoft Research, Cambridge UK are looking for a student to start a PhD in medical image analysis, under the supervision of Prof. N. Ayache and Dr A. Criminisi.

The Asclepios project-team<http://www.inria.fr/recherche/equipes/asclepios.en.html>  has three main objectives:

  *   Analysis of Biomedical Images with advanced geometrical, statistical, physical and functional models,
  *   Simulation of Physiological Systems with Computational Models built from biomedical images and other signals,
  *   Application of previous tools to Medicine and Biology to assist prevention, diagnosis and therapy.
During the past decade, the Asclepios team has developed an international reputation for its research along these lines, and has established strong partnerships with leading industrial companies and academic research labs all around the world.
The Asclepios research lab is located within the INRIA centre of Sophia-Antipolis<http://www-sop.inria.fr/index.php?page=lecentre_en>, in a very nice environment only 15 minutes from the Nice Airport.

The Medical Image Analysis<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/medicalimageanalysis/default.aspx> research group at Microsoft Research is developing technology to push the state of the art on automatic and semi-automatic analysis of medical images. The team is also involved in developing new technology for Microsoft's healthcare software, Amalga. The group's focus is (amongst other things) on automatic organ recognition and segmentation, organ modelling, interactive segmentation, detection and segmentation of lesions, real-time 3D visualization and touch-less interaction for surgical applications.

We are looking for strong candidates to join the INRIA Asclepios medical research team and help push the boundaries of scientific knowledge at a national and international level.

The following experiences are essential:

-          Master of Science in Computer Science and/or Applied Mathematics

-          Programming in C++, C# or Matlab.

Any of the following are desirable:

-          Strong mathematical and programming skills;

-          Multi-threaded programming; GPU programming.

For information please send an email to antcrim at microsoft.com<mailto:antcrim at microsoft.com> with the text "PhD studentship" in the subject line.
