-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Position as PhD Research Fellow within the field of MRI image analysis Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2015 13:08:30 +0100 From: Eikenes <live.eikenes(a)NTNU.NO> Reply-To: FSL - FMRIB's Software Library <FSL(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK> To: FSL(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK Dear all, A position for masters in physics/biophysics/biomedical engineering is now open as PhD Research Fellow at the Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging (ISB), Faculty of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The PhD Research Fellow will be part of Traumatic Brain Injury group - Trondheim TBI group, which is a multidisciplinary group including clinicians and researchers from many different departments at the Faculty of Medicine (NTNU) and at St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim University Hospital. The candidate will also collaborate with Trondheim fMRI group. For more information about the Department and the different research groups, see the following pages: http://www.ntnu.edu/isb, http://www.ntnu.edu/inm/tbi, http://www.ntnu.edu/isb/fmri. The period of employment for the position is three years. The main goal of the project “Mild and moderate TBI” is to increase our understanding of the pathophysiological processes of traumatic brain injuries and of the complex aetiology of the long-term morbidity commonly seen after moderate and even mild injuries. The PhD project will focus on analyses of the longitudinal evolution of diffusion tensor imaging and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DTI/DKI) metrics and more in-depth studies of susceptibility to injury in different regions within the brain. This will provide new knowledge about the relative strength and spatial distribution of on-going biological processes in the brain as a response to injury; plasticity and chronic degeneration. *More information about the position and application details here:* ** *http://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/110709* ** *The application deadline is on 16 March 2015.* For further information about the positions, please contact: Researcher Live Eikenes, email: live.eikenes(a)ntnu.no, phone: +47 73551534.
