A postdoctoral position in Biomedical Image analysis

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About Us: We are a multi-disciplinary research group working on data analysis for clinical and biological studies. Our institute, the Bioinformatics Institute, is nicely located in a research hub in the beautiful city nation of Singapore.

This is an exciting project on intelligent dry eye diseases assessment (involves classification and grading) based on (semi-)automatic image analysis. This is an emerging inter-disciplinary project that has potential for new developments in computer aided diagnosis.

We are seeking a highly motivated applicant who is interested in doing research in computer vision and machine learning to join us. In particular, the applicant is expected to investigate computational approaches for the analysis of meibomian glands (tear glands of the human eyes) images. The candidate is expected to work very closely with clinicians from the Singapore Eye Research Institute. We have already collected some unique datasets from the clinics and will collect a few large-scale datasets. The developed techniques will be used on a daily basis by eye doctors in clinics.

The job scope can be summarized as follows:

(1) Develop novel, state-of-the-art computer vision techniques dedicated to the studies of the dry eye disease;

(2) Produce high quality research publications on related topics;

(2) Interact with eye doctors;

(3) Develop prototypes in C++ or Java;

(4) Work closely with a dedicated software engineer. The software engineer will help to turn research prototypes into user friendly Java applications.

The start date is expected to be around July 2011. The position is for 2 years with a possibility for renewal.
