    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    About us

    The post will be based at St Thomas' Hospital in central London in the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King's College London: There is an unmatched infrastructure in place to support the planned work, including one of the UK's only 7 Tesla MRI systems located inside a hospital environment, state-of-the-art engineering and physics laboratories, high-performance computing, and industry collaboration through the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering. The work is also being done in collaboration with the Martinos Centre, MGH-Harvard and funds are available for spending time at that institution during the post.

    About the role

    We are seeking an ambitious and motivated MR physicist to join our multidisciplinary team in a pioneering MRC funded project exploring the early development of activity in the brain in newborn infants using ultra-high field (7 Telsa) MRI.

    The primary focus of this role will be to perform methods development work in the highly specialized area of ultrahigh field magnetic resonance imaging of infants. Performing imaging studies with the infant population introduces many specific challenges which may be further enhanced at ultrahigh field including but not limited to: safety considerations, accounting for age specific tissue properties, and addressing motion artefacts. Resolving these will require complex problem solving through integrating, cutting-edge methodology and working closely as part of a team including clinicians, neuroscientists, engineers and computer scientists, all of whom are engaged with studying the early developing brain with previously unprecedented precision.

    The post holder will have a good understanding of MR physics and engineering and be experienced with pulse sequence design/optimization and image reconstruction. Experience of working in multidisciplinary teams and prior experience with ultrahigh field MRI are also desirable.

    This is a full time post, and you will be offered a fixed term contract for up to 24 months
