[Christine Tanner]

PhD position: Motion tacking using ultrasound images

The Computer Vision Laboratory is looking for a PhD student for a SNF
funded project on investigating the use of ultrasound for the management
of organ motion in tumour therapy. The project aim is to improve the
effectiveness of radiation and high intensity focused ultrasound therapy
by taking account of the organ motion occurring during therapy. In
particular, the PhD student will investigate methods for real-time
ultrasound tracking and for registering pre-therapeutic magnetic
resonance images to ultrasound images.

Your profile:

    * Self-motivated and pro-active;
    * Solid programming skills;
    * Good background in general engineering mathematics;
    * Fluent in English, both written and spoken;
    * Good communication skills;
    * Prior knowledge in the area of image processing are a plus;

We're convinced you will find our lab and ETH in general an exciting
environment for research. We are a highly international team, with people
from about 15 countries. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate
with the University of Basel and the University Hospitals of Basel and Geneva.
