We are a university with a focus on engineering and natural sciences as well as economics, human sciences and medicine. We offer excellent study and working conditions to 13,000 students from Germany and abroad as well as approx. 3,000 employees.

Neuroscience is a research focus at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. The Department of Biomedical Magnetic Resonance (BMMR) works in close cooperation with university and non-university partners on the development of methods for high-resolution imaging in humans.

Two ultra-high-field magnetic resonance systems of the latest generation are available for our research: the 7 Tesla MAGNETOM Terra.X Impulse Edition (the second location worldwide with this technology) and a 7T system recently upgraded to 7T Plus (formerly the first 7T MRI in Europe).

Dedicated to innovative method development, we are looking for proactive and research-enthusiastic employees who aspire to a scientific career. We offer the opportunity for thematic independence within the research spectrum of the department and actively support scientific development. The working group welcomes and encourages habilitation pursuits, publication responsibility (including potential last authorship), and the initiative to secure third-party funding.

Your thematic ideas are welcome and should be outlined in the cover letter (max. 2 pages). The position is initially limited to 3 years, with the option to extend for further 3 years.

Job description:

• Method development and optimization for 7T Terra.X Impulse Edition and/or 7T Plus
