Postdoctoral or PhD Position in Mathematical Neuroimaging
Deadline: 31 jan 2025
The Department of Nuclear Medicine together with the Department of Applied Mathematics is looking for a
Research assistant (mfd) to strengthen the Neuroimaging working group.
The Department of Nuclear Medicine performs all nuclear medicine examinations and therapies for the University Medical Center Freiburg, as a maximum care facility, as well as for external referring physicians. The clinical and scientific focus of the Molecular Neuroimaging Unit is the use of molecular imaging of the brain with SPECT and PET for the research and diagnosis of neurological and psychiatric diseases as well as for basic scientific questions. This relates in particular to the genesis and development of degenerative and inflammatory CNS diseases.
In the Department of Applied Mathematics, we deal in particular with the analysis and numerics of partial differential equations and the associated variational problems. The application areas of the methods developed here can be found, for example, in image analysis, continuum mechanics and biology.
We offer you: • a successful interdisciplinary working group in an established network of highly motivated clinical and scientific cooperation partners • a modern large-scale equipment infrastructure, comprehensive radiopharmaceutical facilities and preclinical research laboratories (incl. small animal PETMRI) • Participation in national and international conferences and congresses • Diverse professional and personal development opportunities (incl. doctorate and post-doctoral qualification if required) • an attractive salary according to TV-L • a family-friendly workplace and childcare facilities
Your tasks: • Data management, pre-processing and quality control for imaging studies • Development of mathematical methods for the evaluation of nuclear medicine image data using modern region-, voxel- and network-based methods as well as pharmacokinetic modeling • Development of mathematical methods for the staging of (neurodegenerative) diseases on the basis of image data • Further statistical processing and analysis of results • Planning and conducting scientific studies • Presentation and publication of scientific results
Your profile: • completed university degree (usually Master's degree or state examination, e.g. physics, mathematics, computer science) and interest in a doctorate or completed doctorate with experience in the above-mentioned field of activity • Knowledge of statistics and programming (e.g. Matlab, Python, R)
