Folgende Stellen werden angeboten (English only):

The MRCE invites applications for, both, master students in physics, biomedical engineering, and related fields as well as Ph.D. students in medical physics and radiology.

The focus of a potential master or Ph.D. thesis can be in principle any of the research fields listed in “Schwerpunkte” and will be arranged in more detail with one of the supervisors listed below. Depending on individual interests a focus on methodical development or (clinical) application is possible. Currently open positions are listed below.

Our institute is equipped with two 3 Tesla whole-body MR systems (Siemens) and one of ~50 7 Tesla MR Systems (Siemens) worldwide.

The salary will be according to the standards for master and PhD students defined by the » Austrian science fund (FWF).

If you are interested, please submit a letter of application stating career goals and curriculum vitae.

Job Opportunities

Open Ph.D. student position in medical physics („Development of advanced whole-brain MR spectroscopic imaging techniques for ultra-high fields“)

The MRCE invites applications for a Ph.D. student in medical physics. The focus of the Ph.D. will be mainly on development of volumetric MR spectroscopic imaging techniques that allow whole-brain mapping of various chemical compounds in vivo with particular focus on Neurotransmitters and Antioxidants. Thus, the development will include the use of ultra-short echo time and J-editing methods that are particularly sensitive to these brain metabolites. This work will require ~50/50 programming and experimental testing on the MR scanner. Programming will include prototyping in MATLAB, implementation of MR sequences changes via IDEA (C/C++) and implementation of online processing in ICE (C++). Overall processing of MRSI data via automated processing pipelines is provided for Linux environment.
The main focus will be on the development of 1H-MRS imaging methods on our 3T PRISMA and 7T MAGNETOM MR Scanner (both Siemens).

We are particularly interested in a physicist, biomedical imaging, medical informatics or similar with a masters, diploma or a comparable degree. The candidate should have some programming skills (preferably C/C++, MATLAB, Bash scripting) and should be interested in interdisciplinary research and will work in a an established team of researchers. Experience in MR physics would be appreciated.

The salary will be according to the standards for PhD students defined by the Austrian science fund (FWF). (https://www.fwf.ac.at/en/research-funding/personnel-costs/) The PhD candidate will be paid via the FFG project FA771E0801 “Imaging oxidative stress via in vivo quantification of glutathione” (Joint project with Siemens Healthcare)

If you are interested, please submit a letter of application stating career goals and curriculum vitae.
