Department of Engineering Science, Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Headington, Oxford
Grade 7: £29,099 - £35,788 p.a.
We are seeking a full-time postdoctoral research assistant to join the Biomedical Image Analysis Laboratory at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering in Headington. The post is funded by Cancer Research UK, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and the Medical Research Council, and is fixed-term to 30 November 2013.
The research project is within the Image Analysis programme of the Oxford Cancer Imaging Centre, and is carried out in close interaction with clinicians in the Oxford Cancer Centre (located on the same site as the IBME). The remit of this post is to develop and evaluate fundamental and translational image analysis methodology for nonlinear image alignment to enable quantitative assessment of tumour growth or response to therapy (and ultimately, prediction of response). You will be responsible for performing analysis for a range of ongoing clinical trials, and take a lead in translating existing and newly developed methodology to clinical research practice.
You should possess (or be near completion of) a relevant PhD/DPhil in medical image analysis, together with relevant experience to work in a multi-disciplinary environment with both engineers and clinicians. You should also possess a solid mathematical and computational background in medical image analysis, including nonlinear image registration, and strong programming skills. A solid publication background in relevant international peer-reviewed conferences and journals is essential.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to julia.schnabel@eng.ox.ac.uk.
Only applications received before midday on 5 March 2012 can be considered. You will be required to upload a covering letter, a brief statement of research interests (describing how past experience and future plans fit with the advertised position), CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.
