FMRI PHD FELLOWSHIP IN GERMANY

Title: Correction of Susceptibility caused Distortions in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The Graduate School for Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de) at the University of Lübeck invites applications for a 3-year PhD scholarship.

Application deadline: June 30, 2009.

Project description:

Based on new registration methods, it was shown that the statistic measure of similarity between CT images and T1-MR images of the same anatomy increased after applying this new method. The goal of this project is to apply the techniques developed to fMRI images, in order to allow for the use of fMRI in navigation.

Requirements:

Candidates are expected to have a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering. Prior experiences in scientific publishing (during the university study or industry employment) are of advantage.

Please prepare all the necessary documents and submit your application online: www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de/?q=node/20.

HBIGS International PhD Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology- Heidelberg (Germany)

The Hartmut Hoffmann-Berling International Graduate School of Molecular and Cellular Biology (HBIGS)

The HBIGS International PhD Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology Heidelberg offers training and excellent research opportunities for outstanding PhD and MD/PhD students from Germany and abroad in a vibrant and stimulating scientific environment. Outstanding PhD students will receive competitive fellowships of up to 1468,- EUR/month.

The focus of the Graduate School on molecular and cellular biology takes into account that molecular and cellular biology provides the conceptual and technological foundation on which most other fields, sub-disciplines and specialized areas of life and biosciences rest - from structural biology to bioinformatics, from molecular medicine to biotechnology, and from immunology to systems biology. A higher qualification in molecular and cellular biology will, therefore, prepare graduates for leading positions in all areas where in-depth knowledge of biological processes is required - be it in academia, industry or the public sector.
