Dear All,
Bioimage analysis is an emergent discipline which develops and supports image analysis applicable within the life sciences. The community's need for bioimage analysis is becoming more urgent as research moves towards becoming more automated and
larger scale. Due to the grass roots nature of this discipline the funding sources and job specification are still not well defined (
https://dwaithe.github.io/blog_20161127.html). It is becoming
clear that to retain the best talent we need to improve and develop the way in which these researchers are funded. The goal of this questionnaire is to establish how researchers are presently funded with respect to image analysis and to ascertain whether
the available funding is appropriate to their needs.
With that in mind I invite you to fill out the following questionnaire, takes (5 mins):
I would be very grateful to you for filling it out and forwarding it to anyone who performs some kind of bioimage analysis in their job. Although the outputs of this questionnaire are focused on shaping the policy in the UK, it is hoped, if successful, the
model will be applied elsewhere, therefore I encourage you to fill it out even if you do not currently work in the UK.
Any questions then please let me know.
Best wishes,
Dominic Waithe
