We are seeking a highly motivated and talented researcher to join the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (WIN, formerly FMRIB) Physics Research group to work on the development of novel image reconstruction methods for functional MRI.
The full-time role will be based at the WIN at the John Radcliffe Hospital, on a 3 year fixed-term contract. The postholder will benefit from their state of the art facilities and dynamic scientific environment at the WIN, and will be a member of the Physics Research group (www.win.ox.ac.uk/research/physics-research), reporting to Dr. Mark Chiew. Our group develops, validates and applies novel MR imaging techniques for basic and clinical neuroscience. This project involves the development of novel image acquisition and reconstruction methods for functional brain imaging. Specifically, the postholder will work on multi-dimensional image reconstruction problems using low-rank tensor models and machine learning techniques to facilitate robust high resolution fMRI of the brain and brainstem, at 7T.
You will need to have a doctoral degree (PhD or DPhil) or nearing completion of, in physics, engineering or other relevant discipline, expertise in MRI acquisition techniques and a track record in image reconstruction and analysis of MRI data. Experience with MATLAB, Python or C++, and working with optimisation methods and machine learning would be desirable. You will have a proven track record of publishing work and excellent communication and interpersonal skills, along with the ability to manage your own research and administrative activities, and an excellent academic track record.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. You will be required to upload a CV, a statement of research interests including detail of how your past experience and future plans fit with this project, and contact details of two referees as part of your online application.
