Postdoctoral position
The Magnetic Resonance (MR) Research Centre of the Department of
Radiology and the
Faculty of Medicine of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium has a
vacant
position for a physicist or (bio)engineer (preferably postdoc) on a
European Project
(Fifth Framework) on Functional Magnetic Resonance (fMRI) in the human
and in the
monkey. The research is a collaboration with the Laboratory of
Neurophysiology of the
Faculty of Medicine (G.A. Orban, Coordinator) of the K.U.Leuven, INRIA
(Sophia-Antipolis, Fran ce) and the Technical University of Denmark
(Lyngby).
Functional MR imaging is a recent technique for the non-invasive
visualisation of
neuronal activity in the human and in animals. The MR Research Centre
has specialized
the last five years in both basic neuroscience and in clinical
applications of fMRI.
The task of the candidate is the development of new fMRI acquisition
techniques and
methods, to optimize the spatial and temporal resolution, as well as the
S/N, using
new data processing algorithms, developed by the partners of the
project. A background
and some experience in Magnetic Resonance (Imaging) is a prerequisite.
The applicant will be offered a salary in accordance with official
baremas,
commensurate with his training and experience. The project ends
september 2003.
