Postdoctoral position

The Magnetic Resonance (MR) Research Centre of the Department of
Radiology and the Faculty of Medicine of the Katholieke Universiteit
Leuven, Belgium has a vacant position for a physicist or (bio)engineer
(preferably postdoc) on a European Project (Fifth Framework) on
Functional Magnetic Resonance (fMRI) in the human and in the
monkey. The research is a collaboration with the Laboratory of
Neurophysiology of the Faculty of Medicine (G.A.  Orban, Coordinator)
of the K.U.Leuven, INRIA (Sophia-Antipolis, Fran ce) and the Technical
University of Denmark (Lyngby).

Functional MR imaging is a recent technique for the non-invasive
visualisation of neuronal activity in the human and in animals. The MR
Research Centre has specialized the last five years in both basic
neuroscience and in clinical applications of fMRI.

The task of the candidate is the development of new fMRI acquisition
techniques and methods, to optimize the spatial and temporal
resolution, as well as the S/N, using new data processing algorithms,
developed by the partners of the project. A background and some
experience in Magnetic Resonance (Imaging) is a prerequisite.

The applicant will be offered a salary in accordance with official
baremas, commensurate with his training and experience. The project
ends september 2003.
