 The NVL is a research lab dedicated to 3D visualization, segmentation, and
 surgical planning systems. Past work at the lab has resulted in prop-based
 augmented reality interfaces, extremely fast semiautomated 3D segmentation
 tools, and a variety of 3D visualization tools used for surgical planning.
 
 This position has a number of benefits:
 
    *  Excellent dedicated computer facilities including HP 735/755/770
      workstations with over 300 MB RAM each and several teraflops of computing
      power.
    *  A wealth of tools including advanced prob-based interfaces, fast and
      accurate 3D segmentation methods, and 3D visualization C++ libraries.
