PhD and PostDoc Positions: Join a dynamic interdisciplinary team at the CIBM MRI EPFL to contribute to cutting-edge research in mapping brain microstructure using diffusion magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (dMRS/dMRSI).
PhD and PostDoc Positions in Brain Microstructure Mapping
Designation: PhD and PostDoc Positions
Research Area: Brain microstructure mapping using diffusion magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (dMRS/dMRSI)
Location: EPFL AVP-CP CIBM-AIT, Bâtiment CH F, Lausanne, Switzerland
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Master’s degree (for PhD position) and PhD degree (for PostDoc position) in biomedical physics, bioengineering, neuroscience, or related fields
- Complementary skills preferred (e.g., physics/bioengineering vs neuroscience)
- Experience in MRS, MRSI, sequence programming, and/or programming languages like Matlab and Python is advantageous
- Willingness to work in a multidisciplinary environment and on animal/translational biomedical research
- Proficiency in English, both verbal and written
Job Description:
- Conduct research in the area of diffusion weighted MR spectroscopy/spectroscopic imaging (dMRS/dMRSI) at ultra-high magnetic fields
- Collaborate with a team of PIs, PhDs, and PostDocs on an interdisciplinary SNSF-funded project
- Develop and validate diffusion MR spectroscopic imaging techniques using both in vivo rodent models and 3D brain cell organoids
- Push the boundaries of dMRS methodology, including spatial resolution, MR acceleration, and sensitivity enhancement
- Work closely with other team members to integrate advanced modeling approaches for data analysis and interpretation
- Contribute to the development of a MR-compatible bioreactor for live measurements of 3D brain cell organoids
