High Field MR Research Position
Department of Radiology, University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA

   The Department of Radiology, University of California San Francisco (UCSF), invites applications for a NIH
funded postdoctoral researcher position in Surbeck Laboratory of Advanced Imaging, a multi-disciplinary research
center in biomedical imaging at UCSF. The center is equipped with multiple research-dedicated MR scanners,
including two 3T, one whole body 7T, one 7T/31cm animal system and one high resolution/MAS 600MHz system,
and a HyperSENSE C-13 hyperpolarizer. There are opportunities to collaborate with top scientists, research groups
in the fields of MR cancer imaging, neuroimaging, musculoskeletal imaging, DTI, MRSI, ultrahigh field MR,
hyperpolarized C-13, within Department of Radiology, Bioengineering program, UCSF/UC Berkeley joint graduate
group in bioengineering and the QB3 (California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences- a joint organization of three
UC campus: UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz and UCSF). The duties will be to participate in the development of
parallel imaging at high fields and its diverse in-vivo applications, and in the development of related high and ultrahigh
field hardware. Strong computer skill, parallel imaging algorithm/recon fluency, and high field RF coil and parallel
imaging coil array design experience will be essential. Technical writing/presentation skills are a must. Training or
experience in one or more of the following areas-- diffusion tensor imaging, pulse sequence design, molecular imaging,
or low-gamma nuclear spectroscopy, is desired. Familiarity with diverse computer operating systems and design
-related software, such as AUTOCAD, Solidworks, is a plus. Successful applicant must be motivated to MR
research and capable of working independently. Salary and compensations will be commensurate with the candidate's
qualifications. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field.
      Interested candidates should send a copy of curriculum vitae to the following contact.
