The Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG, and the German Government within the German university excellence program) at the University of Luebeck is now offering a PhD scholarship for the project “Robot assisted navagation guided OCT operating microscope “ in the research field of methods for brain mapping and imaging.
We have recently demonstrated that optical coherence tomography (OCT) of human brain in vivo can be done and that this optical tissue imaging delineates adjacent brain, tumour invaded brain and the highly cellular part of the tumour. In such a scenario, a robot-assisted and navigated microscope would be able to obtain consecutive images of a tumour resection cavity. These imaging data could be scored for residual tumour.
The goals of this project are: (1) Robotic microscope, (2) Integration of optical coherence tomography into the optical pathway of a neurosurgical operating microscope (3) 3D mapping data of the OCT tissue analysis and imaging data for navigation.
?PhD scholarship amounts to 1250 € per month. Students with a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering are invited to apply for admission. The application deadline is January 15, 2009. In certain cases, students must submit, as part of their application, the results of one of the acknowledged language tests to prove their English proficiency.

Closing date: January 15, 2009
