Open call in computational cardiovascular imaging, modelling and simulation

Description : Center for Computational Imaging & Simulation Technologies in Biomedicine (CISTIB) Information & Communications Technologies Department, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Spain, and Networking Biomedical Research Center on Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN) Open call in computational cardiovascular imaging, modelling and simulation Available positions: Senior and junior post-doctoral fellows, PhD students and scientific software developers The Center for Computational Imaging and Simulation Technologies in Biomedicine (CISTIB) at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, focuses on algorithmic and applied research in the area of computational imaging, modelling and simulation. CISTIB is composed of 45 members working in different areas of medical image segmentation, statistical shape analysis, pattern recognition, personalized computational electro- and fluid mechanics, and biomedical information management. The main objective of CISTIB is to contribute to the development of technologies for advanced screening, diagnostics, interventional guidance and therapy planning of cardio- and neurovascular diseases. Converging technologies such as computational imaging, computational physiology and virtual implantation of medical devices are integrated with state of the art multimodal acquisition systems to achieve an enhanced interpretation of human physiology and pathology and supply integrative approaches for in silico drug and medical device development and efficacy assessment. Core technologies include spatial and temporal image segmentation, non-rigid image registration, multimodal image fusion, pattern recognition, statistical shape analysis, multi-view geometry, image-based tissue property estimation, tissue deformation quantification, computational fluid dynamics and electro-mechanical simulation. CISTIB fosters basic and applied research and promotes technology transfer to industry. It participates to a number of national (CDTEAM, http://www.cdteam.org) and international (VPH, http://www.vph-noe.eu; euHeart, http://www.euheart.eu; @neurIST, http://www.aneurist.org) research projects funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and the European Commission, and holds collaborations with several national and international. Closing date: – Web page: http://www.cilab.upf.edu UPF is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research organisation.
