From: Fred Hamprecht <fred.ha...@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de>
Subject: JOB : Senior researcher - U of Heidelberg - GER
In the context of the German excellence initiative, the
Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg invites applications for a
senior research position in Image Processing / Pattern Recognition for a
duration of up to 5 years. The gross salary ranges from 36.7kEUR to
46.8kEUR plus social benefits, depending on qualification and experience.
The aim is to develop methods for segmentation or pattern recognition
that can be trained with an absolute minimum of human interaction; one
particular aim is to employ shape information in the inference process,
and find ways to train the permissible range of shape variability with
as little interaction as possible. (Semi-supervised) active learning
from weak labels is expected to play a role in this endeavor. Successful
candidates are expected to develop their own research profile, and be
involved in the mentoring of PhD students. The position offers the
opportunity to acquire additional own projects and to qualify for the
habilitation.
The position will be affiliated with the Heidelberg Collaboratory for
Image Processing (HCI) that is funded by the German Research Foundation
(DFG), industrial partners (Bosch, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen,
Heidelberg Engineering, Silicon Software, and PCO) and the University.
The mission of the HCI is to conduct basic research with the aim of
providing cutting-edge solutions to basic image analysis problems for
applications in industry, environmental and life sciences. The position
offers the opportunity to acquire additional own projects and to qualify
for the habilitation.
The HCI comprises three research groups (Profs. Hamprecht, Jaehne,
Schnoerr) with about 60 senior researchers, PhD students and
undergraduates. It is directed by a steering committee including the
corresponding heads and representatives of the industrial partners. The
HCI is part of the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR).
Applications should include a complete CV, the PhD thesis (or a link to
it), a list of publications, references (name, homepage), and be sent by
Email in PDF-format to mailto:h...@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de

Project 1: Molecular Image Processing – From Cell to Organism
Molecular imaging is a new and hot field of research, aiming at the
visualization, characterization, and quantification of biological
processes at the cellular and molecular levels. Combined with anatomical
and functional imaging, this enables in-depth studies of the molecular
origins of diseases, in relation to their effects at the organ and
whole-organism level. These new imaging possibilities are having a
significant impact on the basic life sciences as well as human
healthcare, through a better understanding of disease mechanisms, the
development of new biomarkers for early diagnosis, and enhanced
preclinical validation of novel treatments in small-animal models as a
first step towards clinical implementation. In this project, we will
focus on one particular application of molecular imaging: the use of
time-lapse magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study the effects of
stem-cell therapy in restoring myocardial tissue and function after a
heart infarction. The aims are to develop and validate new algorithms
for image alignment and object tracking at both the cellular and the
organ level, in order to visualize, characterize, and quantify dynamic
processes.
Project 2: Multi-Modal Oncological Image Analysis
With MRI, various functional characteristics of the tumor can be
visualized and quantified in vivo, for example the vascular supply and
micro-vascular characteristics in tumors, such as blood volume, blood
flow and endothelial permeability, the oxygenation status, and tumor
cell viability. With SPECT/CT, the distribution of small radioactive
proteins (peptides), which bind specifically to their receptors on a
tumor, can be visualized and quantified. These radioactive peptides can
be used to detect the tumor and to irradiate and kill the tumor. In this
project we aim to document/map the influence of the local tumor
properties, as visualized and quantified by MRI, on the distribution of
radionuclide peptides, as visualized and quantified by SPECT/CT. This
knowledge is necessary to improve the therapy and to optimize and adjust
the therapy for the individual patient. To this end, new image
processing algorithms need to be developed to enable quantification and
integrated analysis. These range from segmentation, registration,
time-sequence analysis, to advanced statistical and pattern recognition
methods.
Project 3: MR Brain Image Analysis: Early Markers of Neurodegenerative
Disease
MR images of the brain reveal evidence of neurodegenerative diseases
such as Alzheimer’s disease already before clinical symptoms appear. For
instance, some brain structures are slightly smaller in people who will
develop dementia later on. Such image based markers are of enormous
importance for early diagnosis and may lead to improved treatment in an
early stage. The Erasmus MC performs a large scale image based study of
the aging brain to investigate the complex neurodegenerative patterns
involved in the development of dementia as well as in normal aging.
Within this study, multi-sequence MR brain data of approximately 5500
participants is collected at intervals of three years. The aim of this
project is to develop model based segmentation techniques to
automatically analyze brain structures in a large number of images, and
to use machine learning techniques to derive image markers, related to
the shape, size, and appearance of brain structures, that can help in
recognizing early onset and predicting future development of dementia.
Project 4: 3D Cardiac Image Analysis
Medical imaging techniques, such as MRI, CT, and SPECT, can provide
information about the anatomy and function of the heart. In this
project, methods will be developed and evaluated to integrate 3D models
of the coronary artery tree, as derived from CTA data, with myocardial
perfusion, as derived from MRI.

PURPOSE / HISTORY:
This set of joint conferences is the largest annual gathering of
researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied
computing. Many of the joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the
premier conferences for presentation of advances in their
respective
fields. We anticipate to have 2,400 or more attendees from over 85
countries participating in the 2009 joint conferences.
The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research
conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common
place at a common time. The main goal is to provide a forum for
exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The
model used to form these annual conferences facilitates
communication
among researchers from all over the world in different fields of
computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both
inward research (core areas of computer science and engineering)
and
outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and
applications) will be covered during the conferences.
WORLCOMP'09 will be composed of research presentations, keynote
lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and
poster presentations. In recent past, keynote and/or tutorial
speakers
included: Prof. David A. Patterson (U. of California, Berkeley);
Prof. Michael J. Flynn (Stanford U.); Prof. John H. Holland
(U. of Michigan, Ann Arbor); Prof. Brian D. Athey (U. of Michigan,
Ann Arbor), Prof. H. J. Siegel (Colorado State U.); Prof. Barry
Vercoe
(MIT); Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (U. of California, Berkeley);
Prof. Jun Liu (Harvard U.); Dr. Jim Gettys (OLPC + developer of X
Window); Dr. Chris Rowen (President and CEO, Tensilica, Inc.); and
many other distinguished speakers.
