About the Role
This fellowship offers a unique opportunity to combine MRI physics, imaging technology development, and muscle physiology research within a multidisciplinary drug discovery environment. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and application of advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) approaches to investigate skeletal muscle physiology, muscle metabolism, and muscle health in metabolic disease.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement advanced MRI/MRS methodologies for preclinical research.
- Design, optimize, and validate imaging acquisition and analysis workflows.
- Contribute to MRI pulse sequence development and programming.
- Analyze and interpret complex imaging datasets using quantitative and computational approaches.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across imaging, biology, pharmacology, and data science.
- Present research findings at scientific conferences and publish results in peer-reviewed journals.
- Drive innovative research projects while developing scientific independence and technical leadership.
Requirements
- Must currently hold a PhD OR receive a Ph.D. no later than spring 2027.
- Ph.D. in Physics, Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Imaging Science, Biophysics, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative discipline.
- Strong foundation in MRI physics and magnetic resonance theory.
- Experience with MRI pulse sequence development and/or pulse sequence programming.
- Experience with quantitative image analysis and scientific computing.
- Programming experience in Python, MATLAB, C++, or related languages.
- Demonstrated scientific productivity through publications and presentations.
