PhD Studentship in Medical Imaging at Swansea University
Swansea University, School of Medicine, PhD studentship in Medical Imaging

We seek an enthusiastic individual with an interest in scientific computing and medical imaging to join a 3-year, EPSRC-funded project in magnetic induction tomography. This is a technique that maps the internal electrical conductivity of the body and is being developed as a new medical imaging modality. Of particular interest in this project is the imaging of cerebral stroke and the potential for a new means of rapid diagnosis that could enable a more timely treatment.

The work will involve numerical modelling and practical laboratory imaging, leading to clinical measurements. There will be opportunities to present results at international conferences. Although based at Swansea University, you will work as part of an established multi-centre research team involving the Universities of Glamorgan and Manchester, as well as other industrial and academic partners. You should have a First or Upper Second Class degree, or equivalent, in Physics, Engineering, Mathematics or a related field.

The studentship is available from 1 November 2006 with a starting date no later than 1 April 2007.

The stipend will be at the current EPSRC level, ?12,300 per annum.
Tuition fees will be funded (including at overseas rate).

Further particulars are available from Professor H. Griffiths, tel:
