Beschreibung:

The Institute of Medical Engineering (Graz University of Technology) and the SFB “Mathematical Optimization and Applications in Biomedical Sciences” offer a Ph.D. position in the field of medical imaging. The focus of this position lies in the field of image reconstruction and artifact correction for MRI, and includes the following tasks:

  • Investigation and Implementation of new approaches for joint image reconstruction and motion correction [1].
  • Conduction of MR experiments on a 3T clinical scanner.
  • Design of studies for clinical validation.

The work will be performed in a team with several years’ experience in new MR-Image reconstruction methods. The Institute has access to a clinical 3T research system (cooperation with the Medical University) and will operate another research system at Graz University of Technology starting in end of February next year.

Qualifications:
  • Master degree in Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Medical Physics or a related field.
  • Programming skills (Matlab, C++).
  • Proficiency in medical imaging and/or image processing, MR-experience
  • Interest to work in an interdisciplinary team.
Additional qualifications:
  • Proficient in mathematical optimization and/or inverse problems.
  • GPU computing skills (especially CUDA).
Duration: 3 years.
