The Department of Information and Computer Science, Helsinki University of Technology (http://ics.tkk.fi/en) has an opening for a PhD candidate interested in automatically quantifying and visualizing the effect of brain disease from structural and functional magnetic resonance images.
The aim is to develop innovative computational techniques for automated brain image analysis, and demonstrate their performance on images acquired from uniquely monitored Finnish birth cohort populations. The project will be performed in close collaboration with world-leading groups at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and will involve a 6 months research visit to Boston.
Candidates must have an MSc degree in computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, physics, or a related field. A strong mathematical background and an interest in Bayesian modeling and/or machine learning is required. Experience in image processing and programming is a plus.
As a PhD student you will join a vibrant research community in the capital of Finland, characterized by a high quality of life and the close proximity of nature. You will get a temporary, full-time position of four years, with a gross monthly salary ranging from 1700 to 3200 Euro, depending on qualifications and performance. The position will start on 1.1.2010 or flexibly thereafter. The language of instruction is English.
