MRI Physicist | MRI Physicist (m/f/x)
Ruhr-Universität Bochum
Job Summary
The Center for Theoretical and Integrative Neuro- and Cognitive Science (THINK) at Ruhr-University Bochum is seeking an MRI Physicist to join their interdisciplinary research team. This permanent, full-time position involves developing and optimizing advanced neuroimaging acquisition sequences, including structural, functional, and diffusion-weighted MRI, and ensuring the quality control of MRI data. The successful candidate will be crucial in supporting MRI-based research projects, advising on experimental design, and providing training to research groups on scanner operation and safety protocols. They will also be responsible for the technical supervision and maintenance of MRI scanners, managing neuroimaging data, and fostering translation between human and animal fMRI data. This role is ideal for a professional with a strong background in MR physics and a passion for advancing cognitive neuroscience through cutting-edge imaging techniques.
Required Skills
Education
PhD in physics, medical physics, biomedical engineering, chemistry, or related fields, with expertise in human MRI.
Experience
- Proven ability to design MRI-based research
- Demonstrated track record in quality assessment and control of MRI data
- Experience in designing, conducting, and analyzing human MRI (e.g., fMRI, DWI), ideally focusing on cognitive neuroscience (e.g., learning, brain connectivity, object categorization, cognitive processes) is a plus
- Publications in peer-reviewed journals as first or senior author
- Familiarity with data management of neuroimaging data and formats such as BIDS
- Experience with combined fMRI-EEG and/or MRI-TMS is a plus
- Experience with neuroimaging analysis software (e.g., SPM, FSL, AFNI, ANTs, BrainVoyager) and scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB) is a plus
- Skills in multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) or similar methods is a plus
- Capability to train users to analyze functional and structural MRI data would be an advantage
- Ability to develop custom hardware (e.g., coils) would be an advantage
