Job description
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology seeks an Senior Researcher (associate level, fulltime, tenure track) in the field of Biomedical Image Analysis.
Medical imaging has developed revolutionary, and has become the prime source of information for diagnosis and interventions. The need for sophisticated analysis and visualization algorithms is strongly increasing, not only due to the sheer complexity of the data, now encompassing many modalities and being more and more multi-valued (vector and tensor data, multi-scale, multi-orientation etc.), but also due to the advent of acquisition and visualization of many functional parameters (e.g. strain, diffusivity etc.), the need for image guided surgery and interventions, and the sheer volume of the data.
The Biomedical Image Analysis group, headed by prof. Bart M. ter Haar Romeny, and established in 2001, has developed a solid position in research and teaching in this field, and operates at world-class level. See:http://bmia.bmt.tue.nl. The scientific research in the group BMIA focuses on three closely intertwined areas:
- Design of advanced mathematical algorithms
- Visualization of multi-valued data
- Cardiovascular and neuro applications
The strength of the group is the close interaction between these areas.
Since the group leader will retire over 3 years, there is the perspective that the senior becomes the new chair.
The Netherlands have traditionally a strong base in image analysis, and the group has established excellent research- and application collaborations with Philips Healthcare (Best), KCL (London), Utrecht University, Maastricht University and many others. BMIA participates in a large Dutch grant application program ‘Innovative Medical Devices Initiative NL’ (2011-2016).
The group is heavily involved in teaching, and has continuously 15-20 (1-year) MSc projects active. The group is embedded in the Imaging Science & Technology Institute /eindhoven, and has strong collaboration with Philips Healthcare and Philips Research (both 4 km away), and a range of (international) hospitals.
Requirements
Your research should deal with the long-term topics of BMIA in the fields of visualization and clinical applications. You will strengthen and expand the current research program. You will lecture in the Bachelor (in Dutch) and Master (in English) BME programs.
The candidate we seek is an excellent researcher in one of the focus areas described above. S/he has published pioneering contributions in major research journals and top conference proceedings. The candidate holds a PhD degree in a relevant discipline (physics, computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering) and is an excellent teacher. The candidate should also fulfill the following requirements:
• The candidate is an enthusiastic team player with the ambition to strengthen, expand and focus the current research program. Experience in initiating and participating in collaborative projects with scientific and industrial partners and (international) research programs is advantageous.
• The candidate has a proven record of attracting substantial research funding.
• The candidate has a proven record of attracting substantial research funding.
• The candidate has a good scientific network, and has been invited for keynote lectures, reviews, editor activities and/or conference organization.
• The candidate will, preferably, have experience with different application domains and a keen eye for technical solutions.
• The candidate has good managerial capabilities.
• S/he has an excellent command of the English language.
Employment conditions
A challenging job at a dynamic and ambitious University
- We offer a salary with a minimum of € 4.651 and a maximum of € 5.920 gross per month (salary scale 14, CAO NU (Dutch Universities)) on a full-time basis and related to relevant experience and knowledge, plus 8% holiday allowance and 8,3% end of the year allowance
- an attractive package of fringe benefits (including 13th month salary, holiday allowance of 8%, excellent work facilities, child care and sport facilities)
More information
For more information about the position, please contact the dean prof. P.A.J. Hilbers, email p.a.j.hilbers@tue.nl.
Applicants are requested to submit a letter of application; a CV/resume/picture; a list of publications; details of three references; and a statement of research, teaching and leadership.
Due to the planned advertisement in 'Medical Image Analysis' the first selection of the applications will take place in the middel of April.
