*PhD in Visualization of volumetric data from the MARS spectral scanner *


The goal of this project is to develop a medical visualization software 
to visualize volumetric data coming from the MARS spectral scanner. This 
is a new type of medical x-ray scanner that measures functional tissue 
information of medical specimens and small animals. The technology uses 
spectral photon counting detectors. 
(http://www.bioengineering.ac.nz/mars/)This project will involve 
developing software for distributed graphics rendering and also new 
visualization techniques for showing 3D volumetric data. This project 
has a duration of three years and is funded by a *NZD 16K p.a. scholarship*.

**

*The MARS Team*

You are joining a vibrant multidisciplinary group at the forefront of 
developing, manufacturing, and applying new technology for biomedical 
use. We are strongly interlinked with industry and with international 
partners. We have academic, clinical, manufacturing and commercial 
goals, which are all interconnected. Our strength internationally is our 
multidisciplinary team structure. Others marvel at how engineers, 
physicists, mathematicians, biologists, and medical folk can work 
together. We are dependent on each other to deliver. By working 
together, and publishing together, every team member advances towards 
their own personal goals.

**

*Your skills*

You should have experience in range of computer languages such as C/C++, 
Python, OpenGL, or Cuda. You should have knowledge of the user centered 
software design process and be interested in our your users, which 
include biologists, physicist and engineers. You should have the ability 
to understand 3D data and the skill to create visualizations that are 
useful for the users. This will require an understanding of computer 
graphics.

*Duties*

International applicants will be required to arrange for their NZ 
student visa after an offer of a place. Please check 
http://www.immigration.govt.nz for information about what type of visa 
might be most suitable and the process of acquiring it. The university 
has various types of accommodation available on campus. Please check 
http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/accom/ for information about the options and 
prices. International students should also consult the International 
Student website at http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/international/ to learn 
about the cost of living, fees, and insurances.

*Application*

Your application must include your resume, academic records, two 
references and your preferred starting date. Please send you complete 
application by *July 6th* to our online system at: 
http://hitlabnz.org/index.php/jobs/job/26/1/table . Please contact 
christoph.bartneck@canterbury.ac.nz 
<mailto:christoph.bartneck@canterbury.ac.nz> if you have any questions 
about the opening or the application process.
