KINGS COLLEGE LONDON: Postdoctoral Analysis Affiliate in Ultrahigh Subject MRI

About us

The submit will probably be based mostly at St Thomas’ Hospital in central London within the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King’s School London: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/bmeis. There may be an unmatched infrastructure in place to assist the deliberate work, together with one of many UK’s solely 7 Tesla MRI methods positioned inside a hospital surroundings, state-of-the-art engineering and physics laboratories, high-performance computing, and business collaboration by way of the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering. The work can be being achieved in collaboration with the Martinos Centre, MGH-Harvard and funds can be found for spending time at that establishment through the submit.

In regards to the position

We’re in search of an bold and motivated MR physicist to hitch our multidisciplinary crew in a pioneering MRC funded mission exploring the early improvement of exercise within the mind in new child infants utilizing ultra-high area (7 Telsa) MRI.

The first focus of this position will probably be to carry out strategies improvement work within the extremely specialised space of ultrahigh area magnetic resonance imaging of infants. Performing imaging research with the toddler inhabitants introduces many particular challenges which can be additional enhanced at ultrahigh area together with however not restricted to: safety issues, accounting for age particular tissue properties, and addressing movement artefacts. Resolving these would require advanced drawback fixing by way of integrating, cutting-edge methodology and dealing intently as a part of a crew together with clinicians, neuroscientists, engineers and computer scientists, all of whom are engaged with learning the early growing mind with beforehand unprecedented precision.
