PhD Position in medical image processing and information retrieval,
University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO)
Applications are invited for a position as a PhD candidate in the medGIFT group at the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO), Sierre. The successful applicant will join a team of researchers working on algorithms, data structures and representations of medical knowledge using structured and unstructured textual data as well as multidimensional and multimodal images. The analysis of images and particularly multidimensional images will be carried out with the goal to allow for a retrieval of the data by textual and visual means. The goal is to build a full image retrieval system for clinical use by radiologists in collaboration with 11 other European partners in the project. The results are planned to be included into innovative user interfaces to deliver information to the clinicians in the Geneva University Hospitals. A close collaboration with the Geneva University Hospitals and the University of Geneva is foreseen throughout the project.
The candidate is expected to have a Masters/Diploma degree in computer science, mathematics or a closely related field, and to have knowledge in image or signal processing, in machine learning and information retrieval.
The expertise and experience of the ideal applicant should fit the following profile in decreasing order of importance:
õ? biomedical informatics;
õ? multimedia indexing;

Two full time PhD positions, starting summer 2010, are open at the Computer Vision and
Geometry Group of ETH Zurich and at the Computer Graphics and Geometry Laboratory of
EPFL Lausanne.
PhD Positions in Computer Graphics
The Institute of Cartography of ETH Zurich, the Computer Vision and Geometry Group of ETH
Zurich, and the Computer Graphics and Geometry Laboratory of EPFL Lausanne collaborate in
developing new digital methods for cartographic terrain visualization in both 2D and 3D. We
concentrate on new methods for generating panorama maps, distorted 2D terrain maps,
shaded relief maps, non-photorealistic rock drawing and hatched 3D representations. We plan
to apply and develop methods of morphometric terrain analysis, non-linear optimization for
shape deformation, and image-based modeling and rendering. For more details, please refer
to http://jenny.cartography.ch/terrainvisualization.html. Salaries are according to ETH
and EPFL rates. We offer a stimulating and enjoyable working environment in competitive,
internationally oriented research groups.
We are looking for two PhD candidates to collaborate in this project for three years.
Candidates must have a strong background in computer graphics, geovisualization or
cartography and hold a masterâ?Ts degree in one of these or a related field. Strong
programming skills and fluent written English are mandatory.

If you would like any more information, please feel free to contact Bernhard Jenny, Institute of
Cartography, ETH Zurich: jenny@karto.baug.ethz.ch

Please apply online at www.jobs.ethz.ch.
In your application you should include your CV with a list of past related projects, and a personal
statement why you are interested in this position.

Overview

Applicants are expected to have a very good degree (in the UK a First Class Honours degree) in Computer Science or a related subject. A masters-level degree (or other post-graduate work) is increasingly desirable; some PhD applicants may find prior study of our MPhil in Advanced Computer Science useful.

A good IELTS or TOEFL score is also required where an English language qualification is necessary.

Research Proposal

Students are not assigned to prespecified projects. They are expected to propose an area or topic, and will be accepted only if an appropriate and willing supervisor is available. Applicants should therefore prepare a statement of proposed research of no more than 3000 words (in ad***ion to the usual personal statement) indicating their intended topic and research strategy. This should:

■show an understanding of existing work in the field,
■identify an area for new work,
■have concrete goals and deliverables for the first year, and
■indicate that you know how to achieve them.

This could usefully be drafted in collaboration with the intended supervisor and candidates are invited to make informal contact with the Laboratory, either through individual staff members or the Student Administration Manager (address below), before submitting a formal application. If you contact more than one person in the Laboratory, please make sure that all the people you contact are aware of all the others so that we do not duplicate effort. The Laboratory may suggest an informal visit, and may interview applicants in person or by telephone.


Funding and grants
Home and EU Students
The Laboratory makes awards both from funds supplied, for UK and EU students only by the UK government (for example, the EPSRC Doctoral Training Grant), and from its own funds. In the year starting October 2010, the Computer Laboratory funded six research students from its Doctoral Training Grant. These funds are limited and the Laboratory encourages applicants to seek other funding, for example scholarships from their home countries, to come to Cambridge. The Admissions Panel considers all applicants for funding awards within its gift and submits the names of highly ranked home and EU students to the Cambridge Home and EU Scholarship Scheme (CHESS) competition.

The Laboratory may also have studentships associated with industrial collaborations and particular research projects. About a quarter of research students starting in 2009 were funded on research project studentships. Research project studentships are advertised as they become available on the Job Opportunities webpage.

EU and overseas students
Very highly ranked EU and overseas students will also be considered for nomination to the Gates Cambridge Trust and Cambridge International Scholarship Scheme (CISS) competitions.

Note: the deadline for receipt of complete applications for non-US applicants is December 1 but for US applicants the deadline is October 15.

The Board of Graduate Studies Prospectus provides information about grants for students applying to Cambridge, and their closing dates. Intending students make their own applications for these as indicated in the Prospectus, and are advised to make them early. The Laboratory will contact applicants directly about its awards.

It is worth noting that full funding must be secured before starting a course at Cambridge. Many of the scholarships will not accept applications from students who are already in residence. Do not assert that you will be able *****pport yourself and hope that something else will turn up once you are in Cambridge.

Admission con***ions
Students who intend to study for a period of either 3 or 4 years to obtain a Ph.D. Degree are not registered for that qualification on admission. Rather, they are usually registered for the CPGS and, after fulfilling the requirements, are registered for the Ph.D. Degree, backdated to their date of admission. Other potential Ph.D. students, not initially registered for the CPGS, will also be subject to a similar first-year assessment exercise: the first-year report and thesis proposal.

The various probationary statuses are:

■Certificate of Postgraduate Studies in Computer Science (CPGS), 1 plus 2; or
■Not at First Registered (NOTAF); or
■Ph.D. (Probationary), 1 plus 2.
Standard con***ions securing sufficient funding for three years to meet the financial con***ions of the Board of Graduate Studies and College membership. Ad***ionally, applicants may be asked to achieve a certain grade in their current studies; to take or retake an English Language proficiency test; and any other con***ions the Board of Graduate Studies might apply.
