The successful candidate will be part of a team developing and applying methods for in-vivo histology of human brain microstructure using MRI, which is crucial for understanding the human brain in both health and disease. The project is funded by the ERC Consolidator Grant "Non-Invasive In-Vivo Histology in Health and Disease Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging". To characterize the microstructure of the cortex, the team will develop a novel quantitative multi-contrast imaging approach at ultra-high resolution that will be complemented by a unified model of MRI contrasts, cortical anatomy and tissue microstructure. Super-resolution diffusion and susceptibility imaging will further enhance the effective image resolution. High-resolution functional MRI (fMRI) will complement the anatomical imaging methods and will be used for crossvalidation. The candidates will be embedded in a unique world-leading research environment and have access to the latest cutting-edge MRI hardware including: 3T, 7T and 9.4T for human MRI; small bore 9.4T for ex-vivo scanning; ultra-fast optical prospective motion correction and tailored radio-frequency (RF) surface coils for maximal SNR. The post holder will focus on the MRI acquisition techniques, pulse sequences, optimizing the optical prospective motion correction and conducting experiments (human volunteers, brain specimens). The acquisition techniques will include quantification of relaxation parameters, magnetization transfer saturation, diffusion imaging and fMRI at 3T, 7T and 9.4T. The focus will be on very high resolution, maximal SNR and minimal artifact levels enabled by prospective motion correction, tailored RF coils and ultra-high fields up to 9.4T. Applicants must have a PhD in physics, biomedical engineering, computer science, or a comparable subject. If not already held, the PhD must be obtained by the agreed startdate.
