Postdoctoral Fellow

Our team plays a central role in designing and building innovative hardware solutions that enable advanced imaging applications across a wide range of research areas. The MRI Engineering Team is in the NIH In Vivo NMR Center, a multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary facility with a wide variety of human and animal MRI scanners (with fields ranging from 0.064 T to 14 T) within the NIH Clinical Center on NIH main campus in Bethesda, Maryland.

Specifically, the MRI Engineering Team optimizes customized MRI hardware to meet NIH's ever-evolving MRI needs. Our team now has numerous challenging projects surrounding the development of novel radio-frequency transmission and reception hardware, and we are particularly focused on improving ultra-high field MRI of the human brain in vivo.

In addition, the MRI Engineering team works with scientists from other divisions and institutes outside NINDS to drive innovation and improve MRI applications all across the NIH.

Prospective applicants should possess a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field, and exhibit a strong foundation in electronics and Radio-Frequency principles. Practical experience with RF circuits and MRI coils is preferred. We are also looking for strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently on research projects. A proven ability to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary research environment is a must.
