“Advanced diffusion MR Methods to study human brain”
Description
The Graduate School of Information Science in Health (GSISH) at Technische Universität München is seeking applications from highly motivated candidates for a 3-year funded PhD position.
Diffusion MR methods play an important role not only in understanding the brain and its functions, but also in diagnosis for instance of neurogenerative diseases. You will be involved in developing and investigating methods for diffusion based image mechanisms, data acquisition in phantoms and human, but also in data processing.
This will require good (bio)physical understanding. You will be collaborating with a team of experienced scientists from the MR group at GE, the Medical Technology (Prof Haase) department at TUM and the Max-Planck Institute for Psychiatry (Dr. Czisch), get unique access to latest hardware, as well as an extensive internal and external network of collaborating sites. The European GE Global Research Center provides an excellent infrastructure for conducting cutting-edge research.
Qualifications
The applicant should have a Masters degree and a strong background in (bio)physics or a related sub-ject. Interest and prior knowledge in neurosciences is desired.
Our offer
He/She will become part of the highly renowned TUM Graduate School of Information Science in Health (GSISH) and a student member of TUM, one of Germany’s first universities of excellence. The GSISH will actively assist the candidate in achieving a Ph.D. degree within the scheduled time of three years. The payment and the conditions of employment follow the specifications of TUM-GSISH position.
Application Details
Applications should include curriculum vita, certificates and transcript of BA/MA/Diplom or equivalent degree, summary of the previous work, letter of motivation, proof of fluency in English and names of 2 references. Please send your application within one pdf-document to gsish(at)tum.de.
