PhD scholarship for computing in medicine and life sciences, Luebeck University, Germany

Description : The Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG, and the German Government within the German university excellence program) at the University of Luebeck is now offering a PhD scholarship for the project “Analysis of adult stem cells by computer vision” in the research field of Computing in Structural and Cell Biology. In this project, time-lapse imaging of living cells is combined with computer vision and machine learning technologies to discover patterns in the in vitro behaviour of the cells. This non-invasive approach has the advantage that the cells are left undisturbed, since already small perturbations may alter the growth and differentiation characteristics of the cells. Moreover, the method allows for the investigation of large cell numbers, thus ensuring the statistical relevance of the obtained data. PhD scholarship amounts to 1250 € per month. Students with a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering are invited to apply for admission. The application deadline is January 15, 2009. In certain cases, students must submit, as part of their application, the results of one of the acknowledged language tests to prove their English proficiency.
