Duties & Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and optimize MR pulse sequences on Siemens platforms for quantitative imaging. Develop, adapt, and evaluate modern reconstruction algorithms for accelerated and robust qMRI. Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to translate methods to clinical research studies and analyze imaging data. Disseminate findings through peer-reviewed manuscripts, conference presentations, open/reproducible code, and the development and distribution of Siemens Work-In-Progress (WIP) packages where appropriate.
Minimum Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a closely related field. Demonstrated experience with Siemens MR pulse sequence programming (e.g., IDEA/ICE) and contemporary image reconstruction techniques (e.g., compressed sensing, parallel imaging, model-based or deep learning reconstructions). Knowledge of radial data acquisition strategies, artifact mitigation methods, and their use in parametric imaging (e.g., T1/T2/T2
* mapping).
Preferred Qualifications
- Strong programming skills (e.g., C/C++, Python, MATLAB) and familiarity with scientific software development best practices. Evidence of scholarly productivity and effective collaboration in interdisciplinary teams.
