Postdoctoral Scholar in Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Rayz and Vlachos Lab

Multiple postdoctoral positions focused on research and development of MRI technology are available at Purdue University's Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering and School of Mechanical Engineering. These positions will be mentored by Professors Pavlos P. Vlachos and Vitaliy L. Rayz, and will involve advancing the capabilities of MRI technology for the interrogation and understanding of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow and transport.

We are looking for postdoctoral scholars with expertise and interest in MRI hardware, software, or image and signal processing. The projects that they may work on include designing and fabricating MRI coils, developing and programming MRI sequences, conducting in vivo and in vitro MRI studies, and creating new image processing and image-based analysis tools.

Ideal candidates for this position should possess a Ph.D. degree in relevant fields such as Engineering, Medical Physics, or any related field. Prior experience in any of the following areas is strongly desired: MRI sequence programming, coil design, or image analysis. Strong oral and written communication skills are a must. The candidates should be highly motivated, independent, and committed to excellence in a competitive, yet highly cooperative, and productive research environment. In addition to annual leave and medical benefits, a competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered.

Applicants should send an up-to-date CV and example of published work to Profs. Pavlos Vlachos (pvlachos@purdue.edu) and Vitaliy Rayz (vrayz@purdue.edu) with the Subject Line: MRI Postdoc Application. Application screening will begin immediately and close when the position is filled. Start date is negotiable. Only candidates shortlisted for interviews will be notified of the application result.  Purdue University is an EEO/AA employer fully committed to achieving a diverse workforce.
