Fwd: Post-doctoral position at Imperial College London - MR physics development & application

Post-doctoral MR physics position at Imperial College London, Division of Brain Science Full details here: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AKV932/mr-physics-research-associate/ Imperial College London is seeking a post-doctoral MR Physicist to join its world-class neuroimaging research programme. The post-holder will be based within the Computational, Cognitive & Clinical Neuroimaging Laboratory (C3NL http://www.c3nl.com/) and will have access to the Imperial College Clinical Imaging Facility (ICCIF http://bit.ly/1Axf2Nv). C3NL brings together computational scientists, psychologists and clinicians to deliver translational neuroimaging research including combined MR/EEG/brain stimulation and real-time functional MRI. The post-holder will be encouraged to develop their own research program in an aligned area. The ICCIF offers Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). A wide-range of imaging projects are conducted in the unit and there will be opportunities to collaborate with leading academic and clinical scientists. A proportion of your time will be dedicated to supporting the MR requirements of projects within the ICCIF. There are also a number of exciting new imaging initiatives in PET and MRI on the Hammersmith Campus. A new small animal imaging facility is open with 9.4 Tesla MRI and small-bore SPECT/PET and CT. Funding is in place for a clinical combined MRI/PET system, which will be based within Imanova, also on the Hammersmith Campus. There will also be the opportunity to link with MR and image processing research within the Departments of Computing and Engineering at Imperial College. Ideally you will have experience in MR pulse sequence programming and methodology development in areas such as fMRI, diffusion tensor imaging, dynamic-MRI and ASL-based perfusion imaging. A PhD or equivalent in Medical Physics or a closely related discipline is required. This is a full-time position based at the Hammersmith Campus, funded for two years in the first instance, with the expectation of further competitive funding as the group develops. Please contact Professor David Sharp to informally discuss the post (david.sharp(a)imperial.ac.uk).
