PhD Student:
MR methods for hyperpolarised imaging (m/f)

This PhD studentship will be focused on the development of novel MRI pulse sequences for imaging of lung disease using hyperpolarised 129Xe gas. It will be based on an existing collaboration between world-leading academic (University of Sheffield - Wild) and industrial (GE – Schulte, Wiesinger, Wolber) groups active in the fields of Hyperpolarised MRI technology research. The proposed studentship will benefit from the unique combination of a leading academic MR research group and the input of GE scientists. This will enable the student to translate novel MR methodologies from the initial concept all the way to clinical evaluation under academic and industrial co-supervision. This is a very valuable multi-disciplinary educational experience that will prepare the PhD student for a career in academia and relevant industry alike.
The student will be based at the University of Sheffield, UK, with regular visits to GE Global Research, Munich.
A graduate Physicist is sought with a sound theoretical and experimental background, preferably with some MRI or NMR experience.

Responsibilities
  • Conduct cutting-edge research in hyperpolarised 129Xe lung and 13C metabolic imaging. That includes investigation, utilisation and implementation of: MR pulse sequences, reconstruction and hardware
  • Willingness to travel: position is primarily based at the academic radiology unit of the University of Sheffield; the candidate should regularly visit GE Global Research Munich; the position is intended to strengthen an existing collaboration, transferring methods from 13C to 129Xe and vice versa.
  • Present results at international conferences, in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and at internal reviews
Qualifications
  • MSc / Diploma in Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related subject
  • Strong physics and mathematics background
  • Must have adequate academic credentials to be accepted into the University of Sheffield PhD program
  • Excellent university grades
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

Desired
  • Background in MRI, NMR
  • Programming/computer skills (Matlab, C, Linux, etc)
  • MRI pulse sequence programming skills
  • International / global experience
