Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world's top universities. The University has around 46,000 students and 8,500 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain, and improve our world and the human condition.
The position will be placed at the Division of Computer Vision and Machine Learning at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences. The Centre for Mathematical Sciences is an institution affiliated with both the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and the Faculty of Science at Lund University.
Within the division of Computer Vision and Machine Learning, there are several senior researchers and approximately 20 doctoral candidates. Research in this field began in the mid-1980s and currently encompasses (i) geometry and computer vision, (ii) medical image analysis, and (iii) machine learning and artificial intelligence. The group has extensive experience in both fundamental research and applied collaborations.
The position is part of the strategic research initiative ELLIIT and is carried out in close collaboration with Linköping University. The project is jointly supervised, with Associate Professor Anders Eklund (Linköping University) acting as co-supervisor. The project also includes collaboration with the radiology and medical imaging research environment in Lund.
As a doctoral student, you are both admitted as a student and employed at Lund University. As a doctoral student, you will be trained in a scientific approach. In short, you will be trained to think critically and analytically, to solve problems independently using the right methods, and to develop an awareness of research ethics. In addition, you will have the opportunity to work on projects, to develop your leadership and pedagogical skills. Throughout your studies, you will be guided by supervisors. Doctoral studies end with a thesis and a doctoral degree.
