The University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Radiology, MRResearch Center (MRRC) is seeking a postdoctoral associate who is interested in high field 7T MRI. MRRC is planning to transfer currentVB17A 7T technologies to new Terra 7T program including parallel transmission(pTx) B1 shimming, high-order B0 shimming, and advanced CSI/EPI/structuresequences, etc. The candidate who has experiencesin development of high-order B0 shimming program/algorithm, IDEA pulse sequence& ICE programing, non-Cartesian/parallel imaging reconstruction, and/or neuro-imagingapplications. The candidate will assist Dr. Chan Hong Moon for 7T pTx operation,and support ongoing 7T pTx projects – MR spectroscopy imaging (GABA, glutamate,lactate, NAA) and/or fMRI study for critical period plasticity, cognitivedysfunction in HIV, bipolar, and psychosis. MRRC is located at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC)and has excellent research/clinical environment withequipment of state-of-the-art Siemens three Prisma 3T(64ch/32ch coil), Magnetom7T 2.3 pTx (8ch Tx/16ch Rx coil, high order B0 shim insert), and mMR BioGraphPET-MR scanners. Applicants must possess a PhD in electrical engineering,physics or biomedical engineering with experience of MR physics. Theproficiency in MATLAB, C++, Python, or equivalent programming languages isneeded, and the knowledge of MR related mathematics - linear algebra, signalprocessing, Fourier analysis, and/or machine learning is required. She/He willwork in a highly multidisciplinary environment consisting of psychiatrists,neuroradiologists, neuroscientists and rehabilitation scientists. Self-motivation, strong communication skills andthe ability to work independently as well as in a collaborative andmultidisciplinary environment are required. There willbe a strong potential for personal and career growth at the UPMC with the opportunityto collaborate with peers and experts from other fields. We are happy toreceive applications from outside the U.S.

The University of Pittsburgh is anAffirmative Action/ Equal Opportunity Employer and values equality ofopportunity, human dignity and diversity, EOE, including disability/vets.
