Post-Doctoral Position - Pulse Sequence and Reconstruction Techniques for Prospective Motion Correction y

The Center for Advanced Imaging Research (CAIR) within the Department of Diagnostic Radiology & Nuclear Medicine at University of Maryland School of Medicine has an opening for MRI Scientists with a background in pulse sequence development and/or reconstruction techniques. The MRI scientist will be involved with an NIH-funded project to develop real-time adaptive motion correction for MRI, and applications to clinical research. This is a full-time position.

The CAIR houses a research-dedicated whole-body 3 Tesla Siemens Prisma platform, as well as a highly accurate real-time optical system to track head motion. Other resources within the Department are a PET-MRI, a human MRI-guided focused ultrasound system, and a 9.4T animal MRI scanner.

The CAIR has multiple faculty-level scientists, staff and post-doctoral fellows that work on advanced MRI techniques.

The ideal candidate would have a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, biomedical engineering, Physics or related field with 1-3 years of experience in MR pulse sequence development, and / or experience with modern reconstruction techniques. Pulse sequence development, working knowledge on a Siemens platform, as well as experience with prospective motion correction will be considered a plus.

Interested candidates should send an email to Thomas Ernst, Ph.D. (ternst@som.umaryland.edu ) with a cover letter highlighting key qualifications and experience, current CV and contact information for three referees.

The position is subject to a background check. Applications from women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
