USA - University of Missouri Postdoc Positions in Biomedical and Satellite Image Processing, Image Analysis and Visualization

Multi-modal, multi-spectral, multi-view imaging is creating a new class of challenging research problems in image registration, rectification, localization, 3D structure estimation, object segmentation, object classification, object tracking, event analysis and multi-dimensional visualization. These common computer vision, image analysis and visualization problems are shared across multiple disciplines. We are interested in achieving realtime parallel processing using multicore GPU or Cell clusters. In terms of 3D visualization we want to track fluid or particle flows and segment large volumetric datasets using 3D levelsets.

In the biomedical area the NIH project is to locate, segment, classify and track cells in live-cell microscopy, cell lineage and cell cycle analysis. We are also developing multiphase level-set image segmentation and classification algorithms for computer aided diagnosis of large histopathology imagery.

In satellite image analysis the project is to improve hurricane forecasting by assimilating NASA satellite observations into non-parameterized numerical cloud resolving models using automatic deformable 2D/3D cloud tracking and flow visualization.

USA - University of North Carolina M.S. and PhD Opportunities in Marine Sciences

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The Department of Marine Sciences
M.S. and Ph.D. Opportunities in Marine Sciences

The Department of Marine Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invites applicants for graduate study in Ph.D. and M.S. programs. Our Marine Sciences program has substantial federal, state and private funding support for cutting-edge research on topics including marine ecology, biogeochemical processes, marine microbiology, coastal and estuarine physical oceanography, river-ocean interactions, coastal geology, fluid dynamics and acoustics. These interdisciplinary, collaborative projects are increasing our understanding of the marine environment and are assessing impacts of human- and climatically-induced change in the coastal zone. Graduates of our program hold positions in a variety of settings, including at universities and research institutions (within the US and abroad), and in federal and state agencies.

We are addressing a wide range of environmental processes and problems along the continuum spanning riverine, estuarine, coastal and open ocean environments around the globe including the Arctic, the Amazon, the US East Coast and Florida Keys, the Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of California, Chinese rivers and lakes, and the Pacific, including the Galapagos Islands (where UNC-Chapel Hill maintains a field laboratory). Research projects focus on the ecosystem and regional scale, utilizing field experimental, observational and modeling approaches.
