Dear all, please find below a PhD position offer:
_PhD position:_ shape analysis applied to neuroimaging.
The LATP (
http://latp.univ-mrs.fr) and LSIS (
http://www.lsis.org) labs,
Aix-Marseille University, France, are seeking a candidate for a PhD in
the field of shape analysis applied to neuroimaging.
_Candidate_:
We are looking for an excellent Ph.D. candidate with a good background
in applied mathematics and/or image analysis as well as an interest for
neuroimaging. A minimum level of programming skills is required (Matlab,
Python, C++). The applicant must have completed Master studies in
applied mathematics, computer science, or image analysis prior to
starting the program. Excellent academic results during the Master
studies are required.
The candidate is expected to start in September-October 2013.
_Context_:
The project is part of a collaboration between the two laboratories
which will provide a co-supervision of the PhD student.
The LATP lab is a fundamental and applied mathematics lab based in
Marseille that includes a team specialised in probabilities, statistics,
and signal processing.
The LSIS lab is a computer science and information technology lab that
includes a team specialised in image analysis with many years of
experience in neuroimaging.
_Salary_: roughly 1600EUR/month (before tax but including health
insurance, social security and fees)
_Project_:
The project is dedicated to the study of shape representations and
distances between shapes. In particular, shape representations using
directly the surface of the shapes, such as currents, and those using
scalar maps describing the geometry of the shapes, such as Laplacian
eigenfunctions, curvelets or shearlets, need to be compared. Their
ability to capture global, local, or multiscale directional information
is of particular interest. The goal is to produce methods that can be
used to perform cortical morphometrics and characterize cortical folding
patterns. Both labs can provide a solid theoretical environment and
access to large databases of neuroimaging data.
_Information and applications:_
Please send your application including your CV with a letter of
motivation, and a list of courses you followed with grades and
evaluations to
