CORDA Donald Longmore PhD Fellowship Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Image
Analysis Department of Computing

Studentship: Untaxed bursary of *£14,600* per annum plus home/EU/overseas
fees

Heart disease and stroke account for nearly half of all deaths in the UK.
CORDA - funds specialist, high quality research into the prevention of heart
disease and stroke using early, non-invasive diagnosis and treatment. In
honour of the pioneering effort by Professor Donald Longmore in
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging, a CORDA Donald Longmore PhD
fellowship has been created by CORDA in 2007 for research into advanced
image analysis and computing techniques in CMR.

The position is open every three years and available to outstanding young
scientists of all nationalities. The PhD research will be hosted by the
Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Imperial College London and the CMR
Unit, Royal Brompton Hospital. The first CORDA Donald Longmore Fellow is
expected to start in April 2008.

The research area of the first CORDA Donald Longmore PhD fellow will be
focussed on medical image computing and modelling techniques for myocardial
regeneration and myocardial perfusion. It involves targeted assessment of
cardiovascular structure and function and multi-modality image
registration/fusion for serial image assessment and prognostic evaluation of
therapeutic measures. The candidate will require an outstanding first or MSc
degree (or equivalent) with a strong background in computing, image
processing, and biomedical engineering.

For further information about the research supported by CORDA see
