Background
The Biomaterials Laboratory of the Martinos Center for Biomedical
Imaging has an immediate postdoctoral opening in an exciting two-year
NIH-funded project to develop methods in MRI-guided tumor ablation in
which the scanner provides the ablation energy. The project involves
numerical simulation of RF electric and magnetic fields and tissue
heating effects, specialized RF coil development, and pulse sequence
design. The work will be carried out in collaboration with
Robin Medical, Inc.,
an innovative medical device company focused on MRI-guided interventional technology.
Duties
The postdoctoral fellow will create numerical simulations of RF electric
and magnetic fields and tissue heating effects with our commercial
simulation software, design and test specialized RF coils and devices,
and develop pulse sequences for Siemens MR scanners. The fellow will
carry out heating studies on phantoms and tissue specimens, and in the
second year on live animals.
Qualifications
Candidates must have a doctoral degree, a solid background in MR
physics or engineering, as well as expertise in electronics, software,
pulse sequence development and/or RF coil design.
