Subject: Postdoctoral Positions in MRI at University of Pennsylvania
Postdoctoral Positions (Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Biophysics, or similar):
Postdoctoral positions in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and microscopy
are available in the Laboratory for Structural NMR Imaging (LSNI) in the
Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center,
for a period of two years, with possible extension to a third year.
Research in the host laboratory focuses on quantitative MRI methods and NMR
applied to tissue architecture and function. Anticipated activities
involve microimaging, including pulse sequence design, construction of
cryogenic RF coils, methods for motion reduction, image processing and
mathematical modeling. Projects in progress include the development and
applications of new methods for MR osteodensitometry, in vivo MR
microimaging and analysis of cancellous bone architecture and function, in
laboratory animals and patients. Additional projects deal with the
development of methods for quantification atherosclerotic disease and
axonal microarchitecture in the spinal cord during injury and recovery in
animal models and humans. For more information on current research at LSNI,
visit http://www.rad.upenn.edu/lsni.
Some of the positions are supported by NIH Training Grants (T32 CA 74781:
Training in Quantitative MRI, Felix W. Wehrli, P.I.; and T32 AR 07481:
Research in Mineral and Skeletal Homeostasis, Peter J. Snyder, P.I.).
Eligible candidates for these positions need to have US citizenship or
permanent resident status.
The Department of Radiology's Center for Advanced MR Imaging and
Spectroscopy (CAMRIS) accommodates 1.5 and 4.0T GE Signa whole-body
scanners, a 50cm 4.7T small-bore animal imager, and a Bruker DMX 400MHz
microimaging system in the Children's Hospital on the University of
Pennsylvania Campus is available as well.
Preference will be given to candidates with hands-on experience in NMR
imaging research and pulse sequence programming. Salary will be
commensurate with experience. Interested candidates are encouraged to
submit their C.V. and two letters of recommendation to:
Felix W. Wehrli, Ph.D.
Professor of Radiologic Science and Biophysics
