Job description
Offer DescriptionA postdoctoral position is available at the research unit and the Montefiore Institute , University of Liège, Belgium.The “Brain-to-Body MRI” (B2B-MRI) project is financed by the University of Liège and involves partners from the School of Engineering, the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine. We have a vacancy for a 2-year postdoc position as part of a local collaboration project to develop/extend 3T and ultra-high field 7T MRI applications. The primary goals of the project are developing tools to analyze 3T diffusion-weighted MRI of lumbosacral nerve roots and 7T high-resolution anatomical MRI of the knee. Specifically, the postdoc position will focus on the handling and segmentation the MRI’s in collaboration with the medical and MRI physics teams. The candidate will also be able to contribute to the other brain-focused MRI developments at the GIGA-CRC-HI and Montefiore Institute.The GIGA-CRC-HI research unit includes psychologists, biologists, neurologists, chemists, physicists and engineers, gathering complementary skills in developing novel technical and methodological tools to better characterise the structure and function of the human brain and body. The team has direct access to onsite research-dedicated 3T and 7T whole-body MRI scanners (Magnetom Prisma and Terra, Siemens). The 7T Terra scanner has been installed in February 2019. In addition to 1H brain imaging (single and parallel transmit configurations, 1H knee imaging and multi-nuclear (23Na, 13Ca, 31P, 19F) coils are available to develop further applications. The 3T Prisma is also equipped with surface coils for spine imaging. The aim of this B2B-MRI project is to enlarge the field of application of the 2 machines beyond 1H brain imaging. The GIGA-CRC-HI has also research and collaboration agreements with Siemens.The Montefiore Institute research areas broadly cover electrical power engineering, electronics, telecommunications, as well as systems and control, signal processing, computer science and, of course artificial intelligence and machine earning. The combination of these topics is fruitful and encourages the development of interdisciplinary topicsThe position is a full-time position for 2 years (potentially prolonged). Start date will be as early as possible from July 1st, 2024, but a start in September or October is acceptable. We will prioritize candidates who ambition to sustain a long-term research career in Liège and to contribute to the MRI-physics team at the GIGA-CRC-HI.Monthly salary will be provided upon request and follows Belgian regulations.Where to apply E-mail[email protected]RequirementsResearch Field Engineering » Biomedical engineering Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Computer science » 3 D modelling Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/Qualifications
