We have 2 exciting new positions available within the Computer Vision and Robotics (VICOROB) Group of the Department of Computer Architecture and Technology. Detailed information about the research group can be found at http://vicorob.udg.edu. These research positions are associated with a new project which aims at developing image processing and computer vision techniques in the medical imaging field. In particular, the interest of the project is in the development and validation of fully automated and robust tools to measure the presence of new lesions and brain volume changes in MRI images of patients with multiple sclerosis. Further information on the research area of the project can be found in http://atc.udg.edu/salem/ while informal queries can be directed to xavier.llado@udg.edu

Applicants for the PhD Studentships will need to have a good honours degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or another related area and be able to demonstrate a strong mathematical background. A Masters degree (or equivalent) obtained during the last two years in the field of Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or another related area is also essential for this post. High levels of ability in computing and programming skills (Matlab and C++) are required. Research experience in image processing, computer vision, or machine learning, and a clear interest in these research fields are also desirable. All applicants must be fluent in spoken and written English.

 

Applications must include the following:
