DETAILS:

Institution:
Image Processing Lab., Physics Department. Universitat de Valencia
(Spain)

Position:
We offer a FOUR YEAR PhD student position (2+2 years: fellowship +
contract)
within the spanish Research Personnel Training Program associated to
a
research project funded by the spanish National Science Foundation in
the
Image Processing area.

Subject:
Computational Neuroscience in Image Processing. Physical structure of
natural
scenes giving rise to photographic images lead to particular
statistical
properties of images. Modeling these statistical features (e.g.
manifold learning) is key in (1) image processing applications such as
coding,
pattern recognition, restoration, and (2) understanding the behavior
of
mechanisms of visual information processing in biological systems. For
more information, check our web site: http://www.uv.es/vista/vistavalencia
The work implies theoretical modeling and numerical experiments on
image
processing applications and neuroscience data.
The student will join a dynamic team of 4 young doctors, 4 PhD
students,
and 1 PostDoc. The team cooperates with several research groups at
Spain and
abroad. The approach to the subject is multidisciplinary involving
machine
learning, computational neuroscience, image processing and machine
vision .

Requirements:
The applicants should have a bachelor degree on one of the following
areas
Physics, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science.
Applicants
should also have a strong interest in vision and its statistical
bases, and
programming experience (e.g. Matlab, C).

Benefits:
* Salary: approx. 1100 euros/month (standard salary of PhD young
researcher
at the spanish R+D system)
* Health insurance.
* Fees for the PhD or master program
* Travel funds to attend conferences and to carry out stays (2-3
months/year)
at research centres abroad.

DEADLINES and selection process:
* According to the Spanish Science Foundation, the application period
will be
open in january 2010. Please check the web site of Ministerio de
Ciencia e
Innovacion: http://web.micinn.es
* Application period will last for 15 days after openning.
* Application is simple: you have to enter your personal data, the
project
data (I will provide them to you) and your updated CV (pdf version).
Please contact me if you have troubles with the forms in spanish.
* According to the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion, requirements
and forms
will be similar to the ones in the last call for applications, which
can be
checked here:

LIAs/00@LIARRHH/00-Formacion/00-FPI

* Once the application period is over, your application is first
evaluated by
the Ministerio and then by our group.
* The selected applicant will be notified by june-july 2010.
* The applicant will join the team by august 2010.

CONTACT: please send me by e-mail an updated version of your CV
