The Magnetic Resonance Systems lab (Mars lab) at TU Delft works relentlessly on the
advancement of quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Funded by a prestigious ERC Starting Grant, we are recruiting a post-doctoral fellow with an initial appointment of two years. The successful candidate will join a young and dynamic group in a prolific, creative and fun environment. The earliest start date is April 15th, 2023. The post-doc will lead a challenging and exciting project on novel sequence developments to uncover unexplored quantitative biomarkers in the heart. Furthermore, the successful candidate will be involved in other ongoing research projects at the lab and will have the opportunity to take mentoring responsibility for students at the bachelor’s and master’s level. Please get in touch to find out about the specific projects of interest.

The primary infrastructure for MRI research at the Mars lab is a new Philips Ingenia 3T scanner, located in a local clinical research center with substantial scan time dedicated to our lab for research purposes. Select studies will also be performed on Siemens Prisma 3T scanners of national and international collaboration partners.

We value drive, curiosity and passion for research higher than previous experience with a particular field in MRI. The following criteria will be used to evaluate potential candidates:

• Ph.D. in physics, math, computer science or a related field
• Respectable publication record
• Good programming skills in C/C++ and Matlab
• Excellent knowledge of written and spoken English
• Previous knowledge of pulse sequence programming, especially Philips or Siemens, is highly advantageous but not strictly required 

Fixed-term contract: 2 years.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
