Fwd: Postdoctoral Positions on Image Segmentation and Registration

Several postdoctoral positions are available in IDEA lab (https://www.med.unc.edu/bric/ideagroup), UNC-Chapel Hill, NC. Position 1 (Deformable Segmentation): The successful candidate should have a strong background on Electrical or Biomedical Engineering, or Computer Science, preferably with emphasis on image feature extraction, shape representation, and shape statistics. Experience on medical image segmentation using deformable surface, level sets, and graph cut is highly desirable. People with machine learning background on image features and shape statistics are particularly encouraged to apply. Strong knowledge on programming (good command of LINUX, C and C++, scripting, and Matlab) are desirable. The research topic will be the development and validation of statistical deformable segmentation methods for prostate and brain. Position 2 (Brain Image Registration): The successful candidate should have a strong background on Electrical or Biomedical Engineering, or Computer Science, preferably with emphasis on image analysis, or computer vision. Experience on medical image registration and analysis is highly desirable. People with group-wise registration or 4D registration are particularly encouraged to apply. Knowledge on neuroscience and programming background (good command of LINUX, C and C++, scripting, and Matlab) are desirable. The research topic will be the development and validation of 3D, 4D, and group-wise image registration methods for brain image analysis. The successful candidates will be part of a diverse group including radiologists, psychologists, physicists, biostatistician, and computer scientists, and will build upon the group's previous work on medical image analysis. If interested, please email resume to Dr. Dinggang Shen (dgshen(a)med.unc.edu <mailto:dgshen@med.unc.edu>).
