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).
