At the Computer graphics and visualization group (graphics.tudelft.nl 
<http://graphics.tudelft.nl>) at TUDelft. We are looking for a talented 
PhD Candidate with background in visualization for our vacancy:

http://recruitment2.tudelft.nl/vacatures/index.php?lang=en&id=528599&type=a

*"Visual Analysis in Population Imaging Research (VAnPIRe)" .*

//

/The PhD position will be part of the Population Imaging Genetics 
project (stw-imagene) that involves linking observations on the human 
genome to observations in imaging data. Novel, genome-wide sequencing 
approaches combined with large-scale population imaging studies open up 
unprecedented possibilities for discovering the cause of a disease and 
relating it to its anatomical and functional consequences./

/The exact nature of the features (markers) that have the highest 
correlation with the clinical outcomes under study is by definition hard 
to predict. Due to the magnitude and heterogeneity of the data, as well 
as the nonspecific nature of the features that are being sought, this is 
a complex and laborious process./

/We envision a new class of visual analysis techniques that enable the 
structured and interactive visual exploration of population imaging 
data. With these techniques, patterns and high-potential hypotheses can 
be flexibly derived from population imaging data, aiding both the 
derivation of insight and the search for predictive data features./

//

/The main aim of this project is to develop and evaluate a new, 
interactive visual analysis approach that enables the extraction of 
patterns and high-potential hypotheses from the irregular and complex 
population imaging research data./

/New insights into the mechanisms behind the clinical outcome of a 
population can be extracted by augmenting the human visual system with 
interactive visualization and coupled feature extraction techniques./

I will appreciate it if you could distribute this vacancy further and 
specially to interested candidates. Notice that deadline for application 
is the 1^st of April.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Anna
