Description du poste

Development and validation of quantitative MRI and spectroscopy sequences on a small-animal MRI system (Bruker 7T) aligned with human clinical approaches (Siemens 3T).

Job type: Technologist

Job location: Paris, Île-de-France, France

Deadline: 2024-12-31

About the Institution

The Institute of Myology, located in Paris at the heart of Europe’s largest hospital complex (Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital), was founded in 1996 at the initiative of the AFM-Téléthon. Its mission: to promote and advance myology as a clinical and scientific discipline.The Institute coordinates medical care, fundamental and applied research, clinical research, and teaching activities.Today: 300 muscle experts, 34,000 patient files, more than 6,000 consultations annually, a dedicated research center in myology, and a neuromuscular exploration center.

About the Position

The Institute of Myology is recruiting a **MRI Sequence Development Engineer (M/F)** on a **fixed-term contract** to join the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy Laboratory within the **Neuromuscular Evaluation and Exploration Center (CEEN)**.You will contribute to the development and validation of quantitative MRI and spectroscopy sequences on a small-animal MRI system (**Bruker 7T**), ensuring methodological consistency with human clinical approaches (**Siemens 3T**).This position plays a key role in the Institute’s strategic translational research activities.

Responsibilities
