Iq-brain marie curie phd student - quantitative mri reconstruction

You will develop methods to make robust quantitative MRI in clinically acceptable acquisition times.

There are several promising quantitative MRI techniques of which the clinical adoption is hindered by long scan times. To address this, you will develop a qMRI reconstruction framework for novel, highly accelerated, acquisitions. In this framework subject motion should be compensated to increase the number of successful scans and remaining uncertainty should be estimated to support clinical reasoning and hence aid clinical acceptance.

Your tasks will include:

• Sequence setting optimization.
• Designing and implementing a DL architecture for qMRI reconstruction.
• Write scientific papers.
• Present at scientific conferences.

This vacancy is part of the Marie Curie project IQ-BRAIN. For this project, we foresee secondments to research and commercial partners in the consortium.

The research will be conducted at the MR physics group as well as the Biomedical Imaging Group Rotterdam (BIGR), which are part of the department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine of the Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam. The department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine of the Erasmus MC is one of the largest medical imaging departments in Europe with 10 clinical MRI scanners at several field strengths. The department has an international and diverse character with a good balance between internationally recognised, high-end research and an excellent social working environment. We do not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, belief, culture, place of birth or occupational impairment when recruiting and selecting staff and students. You will collaborate with a team of experienced researchers with backgrounds in image analysis, machine learning, radiology, pathology, surgery, and oncology. Within this project we collaborate with IQ-BRAIN partners and specifically also with GE Healthcare.

• Your profile aligns with the general requirements and eligibility criteria of the IQ-BRAIN project.
• You should be an independent and highly motivated researcher with an MSc or MEng degree in a technical domain (e.g., Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Informatics, Engineering). If you have not yet obtained your diploma, but expect to do so in the near future, you can already apply.
• Experience with MR imaging, image processing, and/or machine learning is highly valued.
• You should be able to communicate and work with researchers from various fields. Excellent proficiency in English is required.
