PhD Student in MRI Methodology
In the Magnetic Resonance Technology and Methods group (head Prof. Klaas Prüssmann), we are looking for a Physicist or Engineer to be employed as a PhD student.
At the joint Institute for Biomedical Engineering (IBT) of the ETH Zurich and University of Zurich, one research focus is on imaging techniques based on magnetic resonance (MRI). With more than 50 employees and in close collaboration with industrial partners, we develop new MRI methods from basic physics to engineering solutions and medical applications.

The aim of this position is to strengthen pioneering efforts in MRI of tissues and tissue components with very short-lived resonance signals. Current advances in this area promise to expand the scope of MRI to solid tissues and macromolecules to which it has traditionally been blind, such as myelin or collagen. Gaining noninvasive access to these tissues has the potential to improve the quality of medical treatment for a range of diseases including multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis. The activity addresses the full breadth of this challenge, ranging from novel instrumentation to data acquisition and reconstruction strategies as well as advancing applications in basic research and medicine.
