PpSupport Center for Advanced Neuroimaging (SCAN), Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, University Hospital of Bern This position is part of the SNSF-funded project SWISS SECOND: the impact of disease activity on secondary brain alterations in epilepsy patients five years after the first seizure, led by Prof. Dr. med. Roland Wiest. The successful candidate will work on the development and validation of Spin-lock (SL) based fMRI, a non-BOLD technique that is sensitive to neuronal magnetic fields and compare it with EEG-fMRI data from both a 3T (Prisma, Siemens) and 7T (Terra, Siemens) MRI systems in patients with epilepsy. /p h3What you can expect /h3 ul liFurther develop and optimize Spin lock functional MRI sequences at 3T and 7T /li liConduct phantom testing and human data acquisition /li liImprove post processing and quantitative analysis tools /li liCollaborate closely with clinical and technical partners within the project /li /ul h3Your Profile /h3 ul liPhD in physics, biomedical engineering, or a related field /li liExperience with the Siemens IDEA pulse sequence programming environment /li liKnowledge of EEG-fMRI is an advantage /li liStrong motivation for applied neuroimaging research and collaborative work /li /ul h3What we offer /h3 ul liInterdisciplinary, collaborative team /li liState-of-the-art imaging facilities /li liMulti-facetted and interesting range of tasks with further education opportunities /li /ul pbTo apply, please send a curriculum vitae and a motivation letter by no later than to the following e-mail address: /b /p pbQuestions about the job? /b /p pFor subject-specific questions and information about the position, please contact Dr. Milena Capiglioni /p pINSELSPITALbr/3010 Berne /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
