PhD Scholarships, Correction of Susceptibility caused Distortions in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, the Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences, the University of Luebeck, Germany

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 “Correction of Susceptibility caused Distortions in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging” in the research field of methods for brain mapping and imaging.

Recently a research group at the host university has discovered a method for computing the distortions of the static field in MRI. This method is based on multi-grid methods, and has been successfully applied to the correction of the geometric distortions in T1-weighted images.

Based on new registration methods, it was shown that the statistic measure of similarity between CT images and T1-MR images of the same anatomy increased after applying this new method. The goal of this project is to apply the techniques developed to fMRI images, in order to allow for the use of fMRI in navigation.

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.
