About the position

Construction has begun on the Norwegian 7T MR Center in Trondheim, which will open in spring 2020. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) will host the center, which will be part of the national infrastructure in neuroscience, NORBRAIN, headed by Nobel laureate Professor Edvard Moser at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, NTNU. The primary focus for the 7T Center will be brain imaging for neuroscientific research, but it will also serve several additional objectives, both in the brain and in other body regions. Clinical use of the 7T scanner will be handled by St.Olavs University Hospital HF, and NTNU and St.Olavs Hospital are in the process of putting together a team of dedicated personnel for the 7T MR Center.

The 7T Center will be localized in the area of St.Olavs Hospital. The imaging facilities at NTNU/St.Olavs Hospital also include PET/MR and 3T MR scanners as well as strong research activities in pre-clinical MR. The MR community in Trondheim consists of large group of researchers and clinicians from NTNU and St.Olavs Hospital working together in highly multidisciplinary projects, covering background and competence within MR-physics, medicine, neuroscience,  psychology, mathematics, computer science and engineering. This environment offers a unique combination of research and method development.

The main focus for this particular position is to facilitate and interface the research projects at the 7T MR Center. As part of the core staff at the center, the Staff Scientist will become the key person in supporting the center's 7T MR research users. This will involve many different tasks, with focus on optimization of scan-protocols, pulse sequence development, data acquisition, processing and analysis, and discussion of results. The Staff Scientist will also be encouraged to develop new techniques and produce research output.

This position is a permanent, full time (100%) position with a preferred start date of September 2019.
