Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Associate in Body Diffusion MRI

The MRI Physics group at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) offers a postdoctoral research fellow or research associate (according to previous experience) position in body diffusion MRI. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Ricardo Otazo.

The main goal of the position is to develop new diffusion MRI methods for the pelvis and abdomen, which includes a combination of pulse sequence programming and coding of new image reconstruction algorithms (multidimensional, deep learning). The project also includes application of developed technology to clinical cancer cases, in collaboration with body radiologists.

The selected candidate will have the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary group including physicists, engineers, computer scientists and clinicians in the departments of Medical Physics and Radiology at one of the world leader institutions in clinical cancer care and research.

Salary will be commensurate with experience and the cost of living in New York City. Subsidized housing close to the MSK campus is available.

Facilities: The MRI Physics group has substantial research time at clinical MRI scanners in the Department of Radiology, including state-of-the art 1.5T and 3T GE scanners and a 3T PET-MR GE scanner. The MRI Physics group also has 3 high performance computer servers with multiple GPUs for image reconstruction and analysis tasks.

Requirements: Candidates should have a PhD in physics, engineering or computer science. Background on MRI physics, pulse sequence programming in GE or Philips, compressed sensing, or deep learning is a plus. We also invite computer scientists interested in applying deep learning to MRI.

To apply: Please submit a CV and brief research statement to:

Ricardo Otazo, PhD
