[Imageworld] Postdoc job Cardiovascular Image Analysis at Eindhoven University of Technology, NL

Postdoc Biomedical Image Analysis

 

Recently TU/e established the Imaging Science and Technology Eindhoven Institute (IST/e), which aims to grow to a leading research institute on the crossroads of image acquisition, mathematical modeling, algorithmics, visualization and biomedical applications of complex images or image sequences on the basis of advanced acquisition techniques. This ambitious goal is feasible through synergy of perfectly complementary research groups in TU/e and their collaborative partners at Philips Healthcare and Philips Research and regional and academic medical centers.

 

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology seeks a

Postdoc in the field of Cardiovascular Image Analysis.

 

Job description

 

Medical imaging has developed revolutionary, and has become the prime source of information for diagnosis and interventions. The need for sophisticated analysis and visualization algorithms is strongly increasing, not only due to the sheer complexity of the data, now encompassing many modalities and being more and more multi-valued (vector and tensor data, multi-scale, multi-orientation etc.), but also due to the advent of acquisition and visualization of many functional parameters (e.g. strain, diffusivity etc.), the need for image guided surgery and interventions, and the sheer volume of the data.

 

The Biomedical Image Analysis group, headed by prof. Bart M. ter Haar Romeny, and established in 2001, has developed a solid position in research and teaching in this field, and operates at world-class level. See: http://bmia.bmt.tue.nl.

The scientific research in the group BMIA focuses on three closely intertwined areas:

 

•             Design of advanced mathematical algorithms

•             Visualization of multi-valued data

•             Cardiovascular and neuro applications

 

The strength of the group is the close interaction between these areas. The group has set up a full line of teaching, and has continuously 15-20 (full last year) MSc projects active.

 

The Netherlands have traditionally a strong base in image analysis, and the group has established excellent research- and application collaborations with Philips Healthcare (Best), KCL (London), Utrecht University, Maastricht University and many others. BMIA participates in the ‘Institute for Diagnostic & Interventional Imaging’ (IDII), which was established under the Dutch grant application program ‘Innovative Medical Devices Initiative NL’ (2011-2016).

 

Requirements

 

Your research should deal with the long-term topics of BMIA in the fields of cardiovascular or neuro image analysis research and clinical applications. The candidate will strengthen and expand the current research program. She/he will lecture in the Bachelor (in Dutch) and Master (in English) BME programs.

 

The candidate we seek is an excellent researcher in one of the focus areas described above. She/he has published pioneering contributions in major research journals and top conference proceedings. The candidate holds a PhD degree in a relevant discipline (physics, computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering) and is an excellent teacher. The candidate should also fulfill the following requirements:

• The candidate is an enthusiastic team player with the ambition to strengthen, expand and focus the current research program. Experience in initiating and participating in collaborative projects with scientific and industrial partners and (international) research programs is advantageous.

 

• The candidate has a proven record of attracting substantial research funding.

 

• The candidate has a good scientific network, and has been invited for keynote lectures, reviews, editor activities and/or conference organization.

 

• The candidate will, preferably, have experience with different application domains and a keen eye for technical solutions.

 

• The candidate has good managerial capabilities.

 

• She/he has an excellent command of the English language.

 

Employment conditions

 

A challenging job at a dynamic and ambitious University of Technology:

 

We offer a postdoc salary based on Dutch Universities rules, related to relevant experience and knowledge, and an attractive package of fringe benefits (including 13th month salary, 8% holiday allowance and 8,3% end of the year allowance, excellent work facilities, child care and sport facilities).
