[Ieee_vis] PhD in Visualization of volumetric data from the MARS spectral scanner

[Christoph Bartneck]

 *PhD in Visualization of volumetric data from the MARS spectral scanner *


The goal of this project is to develop a medical visualization software to
visualize volumetric data coming from the MARS spectral scanner. This is a
new type of medical x-ray scanner that measures functional tissue
information of medical specimens and small animals. The technology uses
spectral photon counting detectors. (http://www.bioengineering.ac.nz/mars/)
This project will involve developing software for distributed graphics
rendering and also new visualization techniques for showing 3D volumetric
data. This project has a duration of three years and is funded by a *NZD
16K p.a. scholarship*.

*The MARS Team*

You are joining a vibrant multidisciplinary group at the forefront of
developing, manufacturing, and applying new technology for biomedical use.
We are strongly interlinked with industry and with international partners.
We have academic, clinical, manufacturing and commercial goals, which are
all interconnected. Our strength internationally is our multidisciplinary
team structure. Others marvel at how engineers, physicists, mathematicians,
biologists, and medical folk can work together. We are dependent on each
other to deliver. By working together, and publishing together, every team
member advances towards their own personal goals.

* *

*Your skills*

You should have experience in range of computer languages such as C/C++,
Python, OpenGL, or Cuda. You should have knowledge of the user centered
software design process and be interested in our your users, which include
biologists, physicist and engineers. You should have the ability to
understand 3D data and the skill to create visualizations that are useful
for the users. This will require an understanding of computer graphics.



*Duties*

International applicants will be required to arrange for their NZ student
visa after an offer of a place. Please check
http://www.immigration.govt.nzfor information about what type of visa
might be most suitable and the
process of acquiring it. The university has various types of accommodation
available on campus. Please check http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/accom/ for
information about the options and prices. International students should
also consult the International Student website at
http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/international/ to learn about the cost of
living, fees, and insurances.



*Application*

Your application must include your resume, academic records, two references
and your preferred starting date. Please send you complete application by *July
6th* to our online system at:
http://hitlabnz.org/index.php/jobs/job/26/1/table . Please contact
christoph.bartneck at canterbury.ac.nz if you have any questions about the
opening or the application process.
