PhD Position in MRI Physics and Methodology

Your position

You will contribute to a Swiss National Science Foundation funded project aimed at advancing lung MRI in pediatric patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Your role will focus on developing non-invasive MRI techniques to assess lung function and structure. Specifically, you will design and adapt non-Cartesian acquisition methods, tailored to the rapid physiological conditions of young children. The new techniques will be optimized using phantom and in-vivo scans to achieve high spatial and temporal resolution.
You will work within a dynamic team of scientists advancing lung MRI, collaborating across an interdisciplinary project that bridges MRI physics, pneumology, and radiology to translate cutting-edge imaging solutions into clinical impact.

Your profile

• Master's degree in Physics, Engineering or related field
• Experience in programming including Python, C/C++ or MATLAB
• Prior experience with MRI may be advantageous but is not required
• Strong motivation and curiosity for interdisciplinary
• Fluency in English (written and spoken)

We offer you

• An exciting and challenging role in a dynamic, collaborative environment with flexible working hours
• A dedicated MRI research environment and state-of-the-art MRI systems
• An interdisciplinary working environment
• A fully funded position for 4 years, aligned with Swiss National Science Foundation employment conditions, including support for PhD training and development
