One postdoc and up to two PhD positions are available at the Centre for Biomedical Image Analysis (CBIA), which is a research division of the Faculty of Informatics of Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic. The focus of CBIA is the development and validation of novel methods in a broad range of biomedical imaging applications with emphasis on cell imaging using optical microscopy.
I was originally going to get an MS in databases at UPenn. However, I took a course in NLP taught by Aravind Joshi, Bonnie Webber, and Barbara Grosz, who was visiting Penn that term. I thought it was the coolest topic I’d ever encountered and decided to come back and get a PhD in NLP. Luckily for me, Penn was very open to people coming from different backgrounds (mine being a PhD in 16th century Mexican history) and thought this was an advantage rather than a limitation.

The internship program at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL) gives students excellent opportunities to work in an industrial research lab environment side-by-side with world-class researchers. This program emphasizes close collaboration with a particular researcher or members of a small team. MERL considers graduate students from all over the world. As many of our projects benefit from specialized knowledge in a given field, graduate students pursuing a Ph.D. typically fill the majority of internship openings.
