Connectionists: FW: Post-doctoral position at UCSD

[Nuno Vasconcelos]

POSITION: Postdoctoral Fellow in Medical Image Analysis
LOCATION: University of California, San Diego

A postdoctoral position is immediately available in a project 
involving machine learning and computer vision for medical 
image analysis. The position is specifically related to the 
development of image guidance techniques in cancer radiotherapy, 
namely tumor tracking in fluoroscopic images. The project involves 
a collaboration across two UCSD departments: the Center for 
Advanced Radiotherapy Technologies, Department of Radiation Oncology, 
and the Statistical Visual Computing Laboratory, Department of 
Electrical Engineering. The candidate will interact with the 
heads of the two laboratories, Profs. Steve Jiang and Nuno Vasconcelos. 
A Ph.D. in engineering, computer science, physics, or related
disciplines, 
with strong programming skills, is required. Experience with machine 
learning and computer vision is desirable. Topics of potential 
interest include interest point detection, visual tracking, dynamic 
textures, feature selection, graphical models, and kernel-based 
regression, among others. Training in clinical medical physics 
may be provided. Initial appointment will be for one year with 
potential renewal for a second year. Interested candidates should 
e-mail a CV to the contact below.
