PhD Candidate in Colour and Image Enhancement for Wireless Capsule Endoscopy
Join an EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network to advance wireless capsule endoscopy using computer vision and colour science.
Best for:Best for computer science or imaging science graduates with strong programming skills and an interest in medical imaging and colour science.
Overview
The Department of Computer Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology invites applications for a 36-month fixed-term PhD position within the MSCA Doctoral Network CAPTURE. The successful candidate will focus on developing advanced colour correction, contrast enhancement, and consistent visualization techniques for wireless capsule endoscopy image and video data. Responsibilities include conducting independent research, publishing academic papers, participating in network training activities, and completing research secondments at partner institutions. Candidates are expected to collaborate closely with academic, clinical, and industry stakeholders across Europe to improve diagnostic reliability for conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease.
What you'll do
- Complete doctoral education and successfully obtain a PhD degree within the 36-month contract period.
- Develop innovative methods for combined colour correction and contrast enhancement of wireless capsule endoscopy images and videos.
- Define standardized colour palettes, reference targets, and measurement protocols for gastrointestinal imaging.
- Quantify inter-device variability among wireless capsule endoscopy systems and validate visualization pipelines using psychometric and statistical methods.
- Publish research findings in peer-reviewed academic venues and contribute to popular science dissemination.
- Participate in joint research and training activities, workshops, and international secondments at partner organizations such as Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Granada.
