Research assistant - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

The Department of Information Technology has approximately 350 employees and 4000 students per year and provides education and research of the highest international quality in Computer Science and its sub-disciplines. The strong focus on research impacts provides an excellent foundation for undergraduate education at the department. The department also hosts several interdisciplinary research groups, and the department supports initiatives in the areas of equal opportunities and equality. Research is organized in five divisions. For more information, see www.it.uu.se.

The research at the Division of Visual Information and Interaction is a unique combination of expertise in computerised image analysis and human-computer interaction. The image analysis research within Vi2 is focused towards theoretical analysis and algorithm development and applications within primarily biomedicine and handwritten text recognition. More information about the department and its activities can be found at www.it.uu.se.

Description of subject area: Computerised image analysis and processing encompass the development and analysis of theory and methods to create and handle digital images and extract information from the image content. The methods aim at one or more of the following: to quantitatively or qualitatively describe the content of an image, to segment/divide and image into meaningful parts in order for these to be automatically identified, described or interpreted, to develop autonomous and interactive methods and systems for image capturing, analysis and visualisation, to visualise a data subset for interpretation and analysis, to compress/represent an image for efficient transfer and storage.

Research project: The research work takes place in a multidisciplinary team with a focus on image processing with applications in neuroradiology. The team is based at the Department of Visual Information and Interaction at the Department of Information Technology at Uppsala University and with an international connection.

The research in the project is on developing and evaluating methods for detection and quantification in neuroradiology. An overall goal is to make advanced image processing methods available for treatment follow-up in neuroradiology.

Work tasks: Assistance in research in the above-mentioned projects.

Qualifications Required: Master of Science/Technology in Software Engineering, or similar subject area. Experience in research and method development in image processing in neuroimaging.

Salary: Individual salary.

Starting date: As soon as possible or as otherwise agreed.

Type of employment: Temporary position ending in 12 months.

Scope of employment: 100%.

For further information about the position please contact: Professor Robin Strand, robin.strand@it.uu.se, +4618-471 3469.

Please submit your application by 25 February 2021, UFV-PA 2021/525.
