PhD Candidate for Parallel Transmission in High-Field MRI
(Ref-No. 2022-0168)
The DKFZ conducts diverse magnetic resonance (MR) research projects at 7 Tesla ranging from basic methodological development to clinically-oriented research studies in volunteers and patients. At 7 Tesla, the wavelength of the radiofrequency (RF) waves necessary to excite the tissue spins approaches the size of the body diameter, and wave effects degrade the uniformity of the transmit field. The goal of the position is to develop and optimize MR measurement protocols utilizing parallel transmit techniques to cope with this problem. The 7 Tesla imager at the DKFZ is equipped with a self-developed 32-channel parallel transmission system including a 32-channel transmit/receive RF body coil.Your research work will encompass:
- adaptation of standard as well as newly developed MR pulse sequences to the parallel transmit hardware and software components,
- design of RF pulses and gradient waveforms for multi-channel transmit,
- optimization of MR measurement protocols and analysis procedures,
- evaluation of the clinical benefit of parallel transmission techniques with respect to diagnosis and characterization of disease processes.
Your profile:
Successful candidates will become members of a multidisciplinary international team and should:- hold a graduate degree (Master’s / Diploma) in physics, engineering, or a related scientific or technical field,
- possess keen interest in scientific research and be able to work independently,
- have good oral and written communication skills in both German (ideal) and English (mandatory).
We offer:
- Interesting, versatile workplace
- International, attractive working environment
- Campus with modern state-of-the-art infrastructure
- Access to international research networks
- Doctoral student payment including social benefits
- Flexible working hours
- Comprehensive training and mentoring program through the Helmholtz International Graduate School
Important notice:
The DKFZ is subject to the regulations of the Infection Protection Act (IfSG). As a consequence, only persons who present proof of immunity against measles as well as against COVID-19 may work at the DKFZ.
