The Virginia Neurological Institute at the University of Virginia
is soliciting applications for Director of the Neurosurgical
Visualization Laboratory (NVL).  The NVL is a research lab 
dedicated to 3D visualization, segmentation, and surgical planning 
systems.  Past work at the lab has resulted in prop-based augmented 
reality interfaces, extremely fast semiautomated 3D segmentation 
tools, and a variety of 3D visualization tools used for surgical 
planning.

The ideal candidate has acquired a Ph.D. in a pertinent computer
or engineering field.  He or she has knowledge of 3D segmentation,
medical imaging, networking, robotics, and visualization with detailed 
knowledge of image analysis in particular.  Also, the candidate 
should have excellent interpersonal skills and ability/interest 
in working with medical (and in particular Neurosurgery) researchers.

This position has a number of benefits:

* Excellent dedicated computer facilities including HP 735/755
  workstations with over 300 MB RAM each.  The lab is currently
  acquiring new dual-processor HP 770 workstations which will push
  lab resources to beyond several teraflops of computing power.

* A wealth of tools including advanced prop-based interfaces, fast
  and accurate 3D segmentation methods, and 3D visualization C++
  libraries.

* An excellent collaboration environment with several departments
  of the Schools of Medicine and Engineering.  A new inter-
  disciplinary Medical Imaging program will begin this fall 
  and allow international recruitment of fully-funded graduate
  students.  University of Virginia's medical imaging is among
  the world's best, and our imaging facilities will include a
  full-time research MR imager for functional and structural
  investigation by the end of this year.

* Extraordinary interaction, motivation, and feedback from a world
  class clinical staff.

* A wonderful living environment with an unusual blend of big city
  facilities and a small town atmosphere.

* A highly competitive compensation package in addition to industrial
  consultation opportunities.

The University of Virginia is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer. Please send inquiries/CVs to:
