Detail information about job Postdoctoral Research Associate in Pulmonary MR Imaging. Terms and conditions vacancy
Fixed-term for 3 years.
Applications are invited for two 3 year fixed-term Postdoctoral Research Associate positions in the Academic Unit of Radiology, University of Sheffield to work in the POLARIS Hyperpolarised and Pulmonary MRI Research Group. You will work within the POLARIS group, where significant technological development work has been undertaken to establish the group as a world centre in this emergent branch of diagnostic pulmonary imaging with proton and hyperpolarized gas MRI. The Academic Radiology Unit is an active, research unit focused on MR imaging. The main research themes of the unit are neuroscience, development and pulmonary MRI. The Pulmonary Imaging Group are internationally recognised for research in the MR methodology for hyperpolarised gas and proton MRI of the lungs.
These posts will involve pulse sequence development for pulmonary MRI applications and image computing for pulmonary MRI applications. You will participate in ongoing international collaborations with other academic, clinical, and industrial researcher partners; analyse and record data to aid future research; and produce useful findings for line managers. You will provide support for ongoing clinical lung imaging research and present results to collaborators of the project, members of the research group, and external audiences to disseminate and publicise research findings. You will also contribute to the supervision of PhD and undergraduate students.
These posts will particularly suit candidates from a physics or engineering background who hold a PhD in MRI Physics, Engineering, or equivalent who have a track record of publications in MR and imaging journals. You will have image processing and computational skills; effective communication skills, both written and verbal; report writing skills; and experience of delivering presentations. Experience of working in a multi-disciplinary team is essential, along with the ability to develop creative approaches to problem solving, as well as have the ability to analyse and solve problems with an appreciation of longer-term implications.
Closing date 14 September 2017.
