发帖数: 3 | 1 Ph.D. Positions at Computer Science & Engineering Department, University of
Connecticut, Storrs, CT
Research Focus: the application of Mathematical Programming, Machine
Learning or Data Mining approaches in emerging Health/Medical Informatics,
Drug Discovery, Bioinformatics and Medical Image Analysis
Applications are invited for 2-3 PhD scholarships in Health/Medical
Informatics group for the incoming Spring of 2011 or regular Fall Semester
recruiting in 2011. While completing the Ph.D. degree requirement in CS and
Engineering department, motivated students are also expected to develop a
strong publication record, present research works at conferences to catch up
to emerging frontier in medical informatics, as well as actively interact
with industrial collaborators and physician in hospital.
The successful applicant will join a team of researchers working on design
or development of mathematical models, algorithms, data analytics for
extracting knowledge from large quantities of data or for intelligent
representations of medical knowledge. Effective real-world informatics
tools and software are expected for the research projects to have direct
impact on medical practices or the care of patients. Exemplar research
projects are given below in related areas and may evolve according to
interests and progress: (1) mathematical modeling and over-time prediction
for longitudinal studies where repeated measurements are collected at
multiple time points; (2) efficient algorithms for genotype-phenotype
association for clinically defined complex phenotypes; (3) medical image
analysis such as functional MRI brain images for detection and diagnosis of
mental diseases. These projects contribute to the general interests of our
group, which includes a variety of educational plans in computer science and
health/medical informatics areas.
Requirements:
Applicants must have - or be close to receiving - a B.Sc. or equivalent
in Mathematics or Computer Science. Applicants possessing a M.S. degree in
Mathematics and/or Computer Science are highly encouraged.
Some experience with mathematics programming, machine learning and
statistical data mining is required and familiarity with programming
languages or database maintenance will be an asset.
Application:
Students who are interested in this program can contact Professor Bi
through E-mail (j***[email protected]) regarding scientific respects of these
positions and/or follow regular application process required by the
graduate school in University of Connecticut. |
