*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(a)opbg.net) and Dr Antonio Napolitano (antonio.napolitano(a)opbg.net) to send the application (CV and 2 reference letters) or, before submitting a formal application, to find out more about the role.
