Postdoc Position on Translational 9.4T MRI: The Hertie-Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH) and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics (MPI-BC) are offering a postdoctoral position to work on Translational 9.4T MRI. The research will focus on cross-species ultra-high field MRI to understand the mechanisms of cortical inflammation and degeneration. The successful candidate will work in a vibrant and interdisciplinary research environment with access to cutting-edge MRI technology.
Postdoc Position on Translational 9.4T MRI
Designation:
Postdoc Position (100%) on Translational 9.4T MRI
Research Area:
Neuroscience, Medical Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Human/Animal MRI, and Translational Imaging.
Location:
Hertie-Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH), University of Tübingen, Germany, in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics.
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Completed PhD in MR Physics or related field.
- Excellent scientific track record.
- Ability to program MRI sequences independently.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Dedication to establishing a career in human 9.4T MRI methods development and application.
- Team spirit and collaborative mindset.
- Experience in MR-physicist-related activities (e.g., sequence design, pulse design) is a plus.
Job Description:
The selected Postdoc will work in the Research Group Translational Imaging of Cortical Microstructure led by Prof. Dr. Esther Kühn at HIH, in close collaboration with the High-Field Magnetic Resonance Group led by Prof. Dr. Klaus Scheffler at MPI-BC. The research focuses on the application of ultra-high field MR imaging (9.4T) to identify mechanisms of cortical inflammation and degeneration in both human and animal models (mice). The role includes multimodal characterization of structural, functional, and vascular imaging data to better understand maladaptive brain circuits. This position provides an opportunity to develop an independent research program, with potential for preparing grant applications.
