Job Opportunity: PhD Student
As a research assistant in our interdisciplinary team, you will work on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of inflammation and cancer using a multi-modal approach.
Responsibilities:
* Developing and performing computer simulations of MRI contrast agents for labelled cells and tissue.
* Labeling and tracking immune cells in cell culture and murine models of inflammation and cancer.
* Collecting, analyzing, and annotating MRI data.
* Combining MRI and mass spectrometric imaging data in a database for quantitative MRI analysis.
* Participating in the graduate school and presenting research findings at internal meetings and international conferences.
Our project aims to develop and apply a quantitative MRI approach to characterize immune cell dynamics in murine models of inflammation and cancer. You will be responsible for contributing to this exciting project and applying your knowledge and skills to achieve its goals.
Requirements:
* A master's degree in physics, computer science, biomedical imaging, or a related field.
* A strong interest in MRI, biomedical imaging, and computational analysis.
* Programming skills (C++, Matlab, Python).
* Willingness to perform cell culture and animal experiments.
* Previous experience with quantitative MRI, contrast agents, and cell tracking/labelling is beneficial.
* Motivation for scientific work and willingness to contribute to an interdisciplinary team.
* Good English communication skills; German skills are advantageous.
