Post-doctoral Associate Position in Medical Image Analysis

Posted March 28th, 2008
Position Filled

The Image Processing and Analysis Group and the MRI Research Group which are affiliated with the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology and Biomedical Engineering at Yale University, have a postdoctoral position in the area of functional brain image analysis. The work would involve continuing development of image analysis algorithms for the quantification of the brain connectivity from resting state fMRI acquisitions. This NIH-funded research is performed collaboratively by a multidisciplinary team of investigators within the School of Medicine. The successful applicant will be expected to both develop new methodology as well as help with the development of the Yale BioImage Suite software package.

A strong background in image analysis and good programming skills are desirable. Experience working with open source toolkits such as VTK and ITK would be a plus. The applicant should have demonstrated skills in written and verbal communication (in English). Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Electrical or Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or a related field.
