About the Role:
Are you passionate about translating research outcome towards clinical applications? Apply for this position to make a meaningful contribution in MR imaging of pancreatic cancer.
As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will:
– Conduct research projects focused on MR imaging for treatment response prediction and stratification of pancreatic cancer
– Develop and validate novel concepts in time-resolved diffusion imaging involving the analysis of diffusion coefficients at different spatial scales and considering kurtosis
– Conduct research projects based on MR elastography techniques (conventional and under pseudo static external load) involving multiple acoustic sources and frequencies
– Have access to preclinical models and clinical workflows for pancreatic cancer
– Train and optimize deep learning models for tumor segmentation and physics-informed tasks
– Publish your findings in peer-reviewed journals and in conferences
We Offer:
– A dynamic, interdisciplinary environment around medical imaging
– Integration into an excellent scientific environment with heavy focus on clinical applications
– Access to state-of-the art imaging facilities
– Support for professional development, including impactful communications
Requirements:
– PhD in biomedical engineering, physics, computer science, medical degree
– Proficiency in programming languages and computing environments such as Matlab, Python or C/C++
– Some experience with MRI acquisition protocol development, in preclinical or clinical settings
– Basic knowledge in radiology and physiopathology of pancreatic cancer
Personal Attributes:
– Strong organizational, analytical and problem-solving skills
– Both a team-oriented mindset and the ability to work autonomously
– Focus on scientific integrity
Application Process:
To apply, send a CV and cover letter to Philippe Garteiser (philippe.garteiser@inserm.fr), Sabrina Doblas (sabrina.doblas@inserm.fr) and Bernard Van Beers (Bernard.van-beers@aphp.fr).
