About the Project
Department
Centre for Biomedical Image Analysis (CBIA), a research division of the Faculty of Informatics of Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic
Deadline: January 5, 2018 and May 18, 2018
Start date: February 2018 or September 2018
LABORATORIES
Up to two PhD positions are available at the Centre for Biomedical Image Analysis (CBIA), which is a research division of the Faculty of Informatics of Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic. The focus of CBIA is the development and validation of novel methods in a broad range of biomedical imaging applications with emphasis on cell imaging using optical microscopy. Research topics include image analysis, image segmentation, object tracking, image filtering, image restoration, image registration, image acquisition and simulation of image formation and electronic detection.
Methods for automated image acquisition and analysis are being developed and tested on real microscopy systems capable of high-quality 3D cell imaging including time-lapse imaging. Key to the success of the group is close collaboration between people of different backgrounds and handling the whole pipeline of cell cultivation, staining, acquisition and analysis. CBIA has also close collaboration with clinical partners. Currently the group consists of about 20 people including researchers, PhD students and technicians.
JOB DESCRIPTION:
The candidates are encouraged to work in one of the above-mentioned areas and collaborate with researchers of a different background. Especially involvement in one of the following topics is welcome:
Machine learning techniques applied to cell segmentation and tracking
Energy-based techniques applied to cell segmentation and tracking
Adaptive mathematical morphology techniques applied to cell segmentation and tracking
Simulations and modelling of live cell dynamics
