Postdoctoral Position in Neuronal Current imaging and EEG-fMRI

Support Center for Advanced Neuroimaging (SCAN), Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, University Hospital of Bern This position is part of the SNSF\-funded project SWISS SECOND: the impact of disease activity on secondary brain alterations in epilepsy patients five years after the first seizure, led by Prof. Dr. med. Wiest. The successful candidate will work on the development and validation of Spin\-lock (SL) based fMRI, a non\-BOLD technique that is sensitive to neuronal magnetic fields and compare it with EEG\-fMRI data from both a 3T (Prisma, Siemens) and 7T (Terra, Siemens) MRI systems in patients with epilepsy.

What you can expect

Further develop and optimize Spin lock functional MRI sequences at 3T and 7T

Conduct phantom testing and human data acquisition

Improve post processing and quantitative analysis tools

Collaborate closely with clinical and technical partners within the project

Your Profile

• PhD in physics, biomedical engineering, or a related field
• Experience with the Siemens IDEA pulse sequence programming environment
• Knowledge of EEG\-fMRI is an advantage
• Strong motivation for applied neuroimaging research and collaborative work
• What we offer
• Interdisciplinary, collaborative team
• State\-of\-the\-art imaging facilities
• Multi\-facetted and interesting range of tasks with further education opportunities
• To apply, please send a curriculum vitae and a motivation letter by no later than to the following e\-mail address: [Write an email](<>)
• Questions about the job?
