Research Associate in Medical Imaging: Clinically Practical Two- and
Three-Dimensional Ultrasonic Elasticity Imaging.

A position exists for a Research Associate to work on two- and
three-dimensional ultrasonic elasticity imaging. The project is
funded by the Wellcome Trust and involves both the Medical Imaging
Group at the Department of Engineering and the Department of Radiology
at Addenbrooke's Hospital.

This is a technology transfer project, whose aim is to develop two-
and three-dimensional elasticity imaging techniques to a stage where
they can be licensed to manufacturers of ultrasound equipment. Part of
this process will involve clinical trials at Addenbrooke's Hospital,
with clinical feedback informing algorithmic and ergonomic
refinement. The successful candidate will have a PhD in a relevant
discipline and experience of programming in C and/or C++. Preference
will be given to candidates with expertise in signal processing of
radio-frequency ultrasound data, or experience supporting medical
imaging trials in clinical environments.

The appointment will be for 3 years starting on 1st April 2007 or as
soon as possible thereafter. Salary is in the range £24,161 to £31,525
p.a. Informal enquiries may be made to Dr Andrew Gee, telephone
