[visionlist] PhD position in superresolution microscopy.

[Edward Rosten]

There is a PhD posision in superresolution microscopy available at King's 
College, London. The position will be with Dr Susan Cox 
(susan.cox at kcl.ac.uk, http://coxphysics.com)

There are two rounds of funding available and the deadlines are Dec 2 and 
Feb 1.


Machine Learning or Computer Vision
-----------------------------------

This cross-disciplinary studentship is ideal for anyone with experience or 
training in image analysis, computer vision or machine learning. This 
interdisciplinary project offers the opportunity to refine those skills 
and apply them to discovering new science. The studentship includes 
funding for four years and will provide all the necessary training in cell 
biology.


Be on the cutting edge of biophysics
------------------------------------

Superresolution fluorescence microscopy boosts the resolution of images by 
up to a factor of ten and is poised to transform our understanding of cell 
biology. To be able to observe dynamic biological processes, it is 
necessary to adapt the imaging process to be much more rapid and less 
damaging to live cells. This project will tackle this challenge from 
several angles: improving data analysis, use of new dyes and fluorescent 
proteins, and adapting the illumination method to minimise unnecessary 
exposure of the sample.
