MSc and PhD Position in MRI hardware and method development

In an international, FWF/ANR-funded research project, scientists at the Medical University of Vienna and Université Paris Saclay join forces to develop a powerful hard- and software package for Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the skin and subcutaneous vasculature. Using innovative radiofrequency detector technology and specialized acquisition protocols, ultra-high resolution skin images will be acquired providing detailed anatomical and functional information. In collaboration with expert dermatologists, the added value for the differential diagnosis of arteriolosclerotic leg ulcers will be evaluated.

 

Are you interested in contributing to this endeavor?

We are seeking a highly motivated MSc or PhD student with interests in one or more of the following research areas:

• Development of MRI detectors for medical imaging

• Development of MR angiography protocols

• Clinical study with healthy volunteers and dermatology patients

 

We offer:

• A fully funded PhD position over the course of 3 years

• The opportunity to work in an international, interdisciplinary research team

• Full support and supervision throughout the thesis, and while working on publications and presentations

• Participation at national and international scientific conferences

• Active networking with national and international researchers in the fields of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Electronics and Dermatology

 

Your profile:

• BSc or MSc degree in biomedical or electrical engineering, physics, or related fields

• Experience in one or more of the following categories:

o MRI physics

o Programming skills (ideally Python or Matlab)

o Analysis of MRI data, Image and signal processing

o PCB design and Soldering

• Curious and motivated to work in an interdisciplinary team

• High level of written and spoken English (German and/or French are a plus)
