  • PhD student position in Visualisation of multi-scale and multi-modal MSD modalities

    UPDATE: Application Deadline has been extended until end of March.

    An appointment as an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) is available at the Devision of Computer Graphics (Welfenlab), Institut of Man-Machine-Interaction, Leibniz Universität Hannover in Germany within the framework of the European Marie-Curie Research and Training Network entitled “MultiScaleHuman”.

    Goal of this thesis is to develop an integrated visualization and system featuring smooth transitions between different scales, which will substantially improve the understanding and analysis of Musculoskeletal Diseases (MSD). Especially the smooth transition model has to be developed.

    Description

    The goal of this system is to be of benefit to integrative research, providing intuitive access to the developed techniques and the interpretation of the obtained results. In the long term the accumulated experiences and knowledge gained will be the basis for a practical visualization system supporting physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of MSD which will also allow for quantitative assessment of the success of the latter (“quantitative biology”). The thesis will include training periods at some sites of the European partners of this network.

    The goal of Multiscale Biological modalities for physiological human articulation (MultiScaleHuman) is to research by training early stage researchers (ESR) and experienced researchers (ER) in the creation of a multi-scale biological data visualization and knowledge management system for improved understanding, diagnosis and treatment of physiological human articulations.

    MultiScaleHuman will exploit advances in multiscale biological modalities and their integration by addressing five core biological scales: Molecular, Cellular, Tissue, Organ and Behaviour scales. This will be achieved through initiating a network of ESR/ER with training provided from a threesector-research consortium which involves academic (education), hospital (social actors) and private (industry) sectors. MultiScaleHuman will provide a unique training program, from technical to complementary skills learning by fully exploiting the training opportunities that Marie Curie ITN provide and by building a consortium of partners that brings multi-disciplinary skills in the understanding and treatment of physiological articulations in MSD and related disorders.

    MultiscaleHuman is a Marie Curie Research Training Network project within EU's [Seventh Framework Programme]. These Networks provide the means for research teams of recognised international stature to link up, in the context of a well-defined collaborative research project, in order to formulate and implement a structured training programme for researchers in a particular field of research.For Marie Curie programme criteria and regulations, please consult this web site and especially the brochure called "The European Charter for Researchers & the Code of Conduct for their Recruitment".
