PhD position in European Research project.

PhD position in European Research project. 

Early Stage Researcher (ESR) position for the development of advanced segmentation algorithms

This position is with ITN partner: Volume Graphics, Heidelberg, Germany

Description: In this project, you will approach improvements in the area of segmentation from two sides. 

First, you will identify and take into account the maximum information retrievable within a CT data set. 

Second, you will use information from additional sources. You will develop advanced segmentation 

algorithms, using a-priori information, multi-modal and multi-scale data, structural information and pattern 

recognition as well as a combination of those approaches. You will investigate if state-of-the-art 

approaches from 2D can be adapted for 3D data with the necessary optimizations towards performance 

and memory consumption. To ensure relevance and applicability, you will cooperate with other 

researchers to obtain input on relevant parameters for different applications as well as to validate the 

algorithms developed. The cooperations will be furthered by secondments between the partners. 

Secondments: During this project, you will do a secondment (of a few months) to UNIPD (Universita degli 

studi di Padova, Italy) and KU Leuven (Belgium) 

Duration: 36 months (enrolment in a PhD program at KU Leuven) 

Envisaged job starting date: as soon as possible. 

Application: To apply, provide (in English, in pdf): 1) a letter of interest (including motivation relevant to 

the research topic), 2) your detailed curriculum vitae (including study curriculum rankings, 

relevant research experience and publications), 3) your diploma and transcripts (including translation if 

possible), 4) two references and their full contact information, 5) English language proficiency test results 

(if available).
