Postdoctoral Researcher in Neuronal Current Imaging and EEG-fMRI / Postdoctoral Researcher in Neuronal Current Imaging and EEG-fMRI

Position Available: Support Center for Advanced Neuroimaging (SCAN)

Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, University Hospital of Bern

This position is part of the SNSF-funded project SWISS SECOND, which explores the impact of disease activity on secondary brain alterations in epilepsy patients five years after the first seizure. The project is led by Prof. Dr. med. Roland Wiest. The successful candidate will focus on the development and validation of Spin-lock (SL) based fMRI, a non-BOLD technique sensitive to neuronal magnetic fields, and will compare it with EEG-fMRI data from both 3T (Prisma, Siemens) and 7T (Terra, Siemens) MRI systems in patients with epilepsy.

What You Can Expect

• Further develop and optimize Spin-lock functional MRI sequences at 3T and 7T
• Conduct phantom testing and human data acquisition
• Improve post-processing and quantitative analysis tools
• Collaborate closely with clinical and technical partners within the project

Your Profile

• PhD in physics, biomedical engineering, or a related field
• Experience with the Siemens IDEA pulse sequence programming environment
• Knowledge of EEG-fMRI is an advantage
• Strong motivation for applied neuroimaging research and collaborative work

What We Offer

• Interdisciplinary, collaborative team
• State-of-the-art imaging facilities
• Multi-faceted and interesting range of tasks with further education opportunities
