Postdoctoral Fellow​/Research Scientist in MR-guided Radiotherapy; MRgRT Department of Medica

The MRI Physics Group at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow or Research Scientist in MR‑guided Radiotherapy (MRgRT). The successful candidate will work under the direct supervision of Dr. Can Wu and will participate in MRI research activities within the group led by Dr. Ricardo Otazo, in the Department of Medical Physics.

The primary goal of this position is to develop novel motion imaging techniques, such as 4D MRI, for motion‑adaptive radiation therapy of high‑risk thoracic and abdominal tumors. Specifically, the work will involve developing and implementing novel algorithms for MRI data acquisition, image reconstruction, and image processing, as well as translating these techniques into clinical practice. Additional research on quantitative MRI methods for assessing treatment response across a range of tumor sites is also anticipated.

• One Elekta Unity MR‑Linac system (includes a 1.5T Philips MRI scanner) and two 3T Philips scanners (Elition MR7700).
• Five high‑performance computer servers with multiple GPUs for image processing, reconstruction, and deep‑learning tasks.
• Active research collaborations with Philips and Elekta for MRI sequence development and image reconstruction.

• PhD degree in physics, engineering, computer science, or related field.
• Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB).
• Expertise in developing deep‑learning models for imaging applications.
• Experience in MRI data acquisition and image reconstruction (preferred but not required).
• A strong track record of peer‑reviewed publications.
• Highly motivated with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
