Scientific Programmer, Computed Tomography - 2019BAPFWETEF170

Department Dept. of Physics (Vision Lab) Date posted Saturday, 8 June, 2019 Position status Full Time Salaried Project title

Scientific Programmer in the field of Computed Tomography (f/m)

Description

The Vision Lab, an imec (https://www.imec-int.com/en/home) research group at the University of Antwerp (http://visielab.uantwerpen.be/ ), has an open position for a Scientific Programmer to efficiently implement image acquisition and reconstruction methods for X-ray Computed Tomography and real time inline X-ray inspection. Tomography is an image reconstruction technique that leans strongly on large-scale numerical mathematics, particularly linear algebra. It has a wide range of applications in medicine (CT-scans), industry (nondestructive testing) and material science (3D imaging of nanomaterials).

Qualifications

• You have a M.Sc. degree іn thе field οf Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or Engineering (or equivalent) with relevant experience in X-ray imaging or a PhD in the field.
• You love coding in C++, python/matlab. GPU programming experience (e.g. in CUDA) is a definite plus.
• Hands-on experience with X-ray imaging infrastructure is also a plus.
• Entrepreneurial spirit

Labs involved

The Vision Lab has unique expertise in the development of algorithms for reconstruction, processing and analysis of imaging data. The working environment is strongly interdisciplinary, combining techniques and insights from Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science. The group has a broad range of national and international collaborations with both academic and industrial partners. Recent Vision Lab publications on tomography can be found on http://visielab.uantwerpen.be/research/tomography.

Our offer

• a world-class research environment with brand new, state-of-the-art X-ray imaging infrastructure;
• multidisciplinary research: cooperation with strong academic research and industrial partners;
• an initial one-year contract with a clear focus on valorization of research results and possible participation in a spin-off initiative.

Starting date

to be discussed
