Postdoctoral Positions Available

Postdoctoral positions in medical imaging with a particular focus on magnetic resonance imaging and microscopy are available in the Laboratory for Structural NMR in the Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, for a period of two years, with possible extension to a third year.

Research in the host laboratory focuses on the development and application of quantitative MRI methods, including advanced image processing and mathematical modeling. Current projects in the laboratory include the development of methods for acquisition, processing and analysis of images from multiple modalities with applications toward the elucidation of structure, function and physiology at the organ and tissue level. Anticipated activities entail development and implementation of imaging techniques at the pulse sequence design and implementation level, image reconstruction and large-scale image data processing and analysis. For positions in image processing, tasks envisioned involve implementation of algorithms for quantitative analysis based on principles of digital geometry.

Candidates are expected to have an advanced degree (Ph.D.) in physics, biomedical engineering, or electrical/electronic engineering. Candidates with laboratory experience in MRI research are preferred. Documented experience in scientific programming related to medical imaging and algorithm design is required. Candidates who are U.S. citizens or who have permanent resident status are given preference.

The University of Pennsylvania is an Equal Opportunity employer.
