Graduate Research Assistantships in COMPUTER INTEGRATED SURGERY at Queen’s
University
The Perk Lab
(Laboratory for Percutaneous Surgery) is open for Graduate Research Assistants
in various projects and research areas, such as:
We are looking for smart, dedicated and
goal-oriented graduate students with background in electrical engineering,
computing, mechanical engineering, or biomedical engineering. We are admitting students into the Master’s
of Science and PhD programs. We provide
full financial support (free tuition, research assistantship, and teaching
assistantships.)
Our students have excellent collaborative
opportunities with a diverse group of multidisciplinary researchers from
medical robotics, medical imaging, image processing, computational mechanics,
image modeling, and analysis; as well as with a large pool of clinical
collaborators. The Perk Lab is seamlessly fused with the Medical Image Analysis Laboratory, we share space, resources, tools, computers and most
importantly “gray matter”. There is also a cadre of superbly trained
professional staff research engineers who assist our students’ research.
Primary external research interactions will take
place with the Center for Computer Integrated Surgery (www.cisst.org) and Laboratory for
Computational Sensing and Robotics (www.lcsr.jhu.edu)
at the Johns Hopkins University and National Alliance for Biomedical Computing
(www.na-mic.org) at the Harvard Brigham
and Women’s Hospital, as well as with over a dozen institutions worldwide in
the USA, Europe and Asia, with opportunities for internships and various kinds
of research sorties.
