Closing date: 21 June 2020
Salary: £38,304 - £45,026 per annum, inclusive of £3,500 per annum London Allowance (Grade 6)
We are looking for a highly ambitious and skilled post-doctoral scientist to join the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences (
https://www.kcl.ac.uk/bmeis) at KCL to develop motion-robust fetal MR spectroscopy (MRS).
The aim of this project is to tackle this important unsolved challenge. This will involve the development of prospective and retrospective motion correction techniques, machine learning, real-time feedback and automated analysis methodologies for MRS in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of gestation.
A motion-robust fetal brain MRS examination will provide unique metabolic information that will improve diagnosis and management of fetal development abnormalities and pregnancy complications.
You will build on existing collaborations with scientists, clinicians and technicians within the School and the Centre for the Developing Brain. You will have a background and PhD in MR Physics, Engineering or a related subject, with experience in one or many of the following areas: MRI/MRS data acquisition and reconstruction, motion correction and machine learning, with an additional interest in MRS.
This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 2 years.
This is a full-time post – 100% full time equivalent.
The selection process will include a short presentation and a panel interview. These will be scheduled for end of June/early July 2020.
