Postdoctoral positions in magnetic
resonance imaging, funded by Training Grant T32 EB000814 ("Training in
Quantitative MRI", National Institutes of Health), will be available in
the Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania Medical
Center. Research in the various preceptors' laboratories focuses on the
development and application of quantitative MRI methods to the study of
organ structure, function and physiology in laboratory animals and
humans, including pulse sequence design, image reconstruction,
processing and analysis and mathematical modeling.
The Department of Radiology's Center for Advanced MR Imaging and
Spectroscopy (CAMRIS) accommodates multiple whole-body MRI research
scanners operating at 1.5, 3 and 7T field strength, designed for patient
related research, as well as various small-bore systems for specimen and
animal studies ranging from 4.7 to 9.4T field strength.
Candidates should have an advanced degree (Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.) in
bioengineering, biophysics, physics, chemistry, or electrical
engineering. Applicants with hands-on experience in MR imaging or
spectroscopy data acquisition and processing methods, MRI hardware, or
advanced applications are given preference but such prior training is
not a requirement for being considered. NIH Training Grantee candidates
must be U.S. citizens or have permanent resident status ("green card"
holders).
The University of Pennsylvania is an equal opportunity employer and
candidates of underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged to
apply.
