CORDA Donald Longmore PhD Fellowship Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Image Analysis Department of Computing
Studentship: Untaxed bursary of *£14,600* per annum plus home/EU/overseas fees
Heart disease and stroke account for nearly half of all deaths in the UK. CORDA - funds specialist, high quality research into the prevention of heart disease and stroke using early, non-invasive diagnosis and treatment. In honour of the pioneering effort by Professor Donald Longmore in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging, a CORDA Donald Longmore PhD fellowship has been created by CORDA in 2007 for research into advanced image analysis and computing techniques in CMR.
The position is open every three years and available to outstanding young scientists of all nationalities. The PhD research will be hosted by the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Imperial College London and the CMR Unit, Royal Brompton Hospital. The first CORDA Donald Longmore Fellow is expected to start in April 2008.
The research area of the first CORDA Donald Longmore PhD fellow will be focussed on medical image computing and modelling techniques for myocardial regeneration and myocardial perfusion. It involves targeted assessment of cardiovascular structure and function and multi-modality image registration/ fusion for serial image assessment and prognostic evaluation of therapeutic measures. The candidate will require an outstanding first or MSc degree (or equivalent) with a strong background in computing, image processing, and biomedical engineering.
