Do you want to make a real-world impact? Join our team to develop cutting-edge MRI techniques for decoding brain tissue properties Collaborate with global experts and help create robust, clinically applicable solutions that transform how we measure the effects of neurodegenerative, neuro-inflammatory, and neurovascular diseases and monitor their treatment.
In this project, you will work with an international and interdisciplinary team of leading experts to develop new imaging sequences and image reconstruction techniques for MWI. This work will be developed on an open-source platform (Pulseq for MR sequence development and BART for image reconstruction) that is compatible with multiple MRI vendors.
**Your tasks will include**:
Sequence implementation.
Creation of image reconstruction pipeline with integrated motion and physiology correction.
Data acquisition at various sites with different field strengths (1.5T, 3T, and 7T) and scanner platforms (Siemens and Philips).
**The focus will be on creating MR mapping methods that are**: robust, self-navigated, maximally sensitive to myelin water variations, and can be deployed in the first instance on clinical trial sites as a gold-standard calibration system.
Your teaching load will be up to 10% of your working time.
Profile
You should have a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in physics, biomedical engineering, medical imaging, or a related field. You have experience with programming in MATLAB, Python or a similar environment.
You have strong analytical skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
You have excellent communication skills in English (both written and oral).
A strong background in MRI physics, sequence development and image reconstruction techniques is preferred.
