[g1]

The research group SIPOMICS (SIgnal Processing for OMIC Sciences) is
seeking candidates to grant two 4-year PhD scholarships at the
Electronic Department of the Rovira i Virgili UNI of Tarragona (Spain).

The main research topic of the scholarship can be classified under

the thesis, the main tasks of the phD candidate will be the development
and application of advanced signal processing algorithms and artificial
intelligent data analysis methods to handle data from biomedical
instrumentation such as High Resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(HR-NMR). The research will be clinically oriented to apply the
algorithms to real biomedical applications.

The research group is tightly related to a Metabolomic Platform
recently created which is equipped with state of the art 600 and 500
NMR machines with Cryoprobes and HR-MAS probes for the measuring of
biofluids and tissues.

Tarragona is a medium city (100,000 inhabitants) with a
