*Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital Rome, Italy Post-doc in quantitative imaging*
*Period of appointment*: The role is full-time and fixed term for a duration of 12 months. A renewal for extra 12 months will also be possible.
We are seeking a researcher at post-doc level with a strong interest in the development of neuroimaging methodology. The post-holder will work on a pediatric neuroimaging project which aims to develop novel MRI data acquisition and analysis strategies (on 3T Skyra and 1.5 T Achieva) based around BOLD FMRI and ASL measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF). The post-holder will be expected to test these new methods in volunteers and in specific groups of neurological pediatric patients in collaboration with clinical colleagues. Applicants should have a first degree in the physical or engineering sciences and a relevant PhD. The ability to communicate well with scientific colleagues and participants in our experiments is also important. Candidates should have a good understanding of MRI sequences whereas having experience in pulse programming in Siemens and/or Philips platforms would be ideal but not essential. A strong background in computer programming (C++, Matlab) is required. The candidate will be asked to have a track record of publication in scientific journals and be able to demonstrate excellent written and oral communication skills.
Potential applicants are encouraged to contact Dr Vittorio Cannatà (vittorio.cannata@opbg.net) and Dr Antonio Napolitano (antonio.napolitano@opbg.net) to send the application (CV and 2 reference letters) or, before submitting a formal application, to find out more about the role.
