Your role in detail

The MR Physics group in Bonn develops MRI acquisition methods to probe manifestations of neurodegenerative diseases non-invasively with high sensitivity and resolution. To this end, we are seeking an interactive and self-motivated scientist to develop novel imaging technologies at 7 Telsa MRI. The goal of the project is to establish novel 7 Tesla MRI biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases with high potential for detecting early disease manifestation and monitoring progression. Transmit field inhomogeneities, which are challenging at 7 Tesla, will be mastered with novel parallel transmission technology. The successful candidate will be working in a highly interdisciplinary team. The position is based within the DZNE MRI Facilities in Bonn (Venusberg Campus).
