The Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science (VUIIS) has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in thoracic magnetic resonance imaging. This position involves research in ? characterization of pulmonary perfusion in a variety of contexts including especially primary pulmonary hypertension, ? biophysical basis of myocardial contrast in normal and pathologic conditions, and ? physiologic measurements of cardiopulmonary function at 3T. The VUIIS is a highly collaborative group of more than two dozen core and affiliated faculty with areas of expertise that include imaging physics, development and applications of MRI and other imaging modalities, image processing, engineering, chemistry, and muscle physiology. We work in partnership with the clinician-scientists of our 864-bed medical center and with basic scientists throughout the university. The VUIIS has outstanding instrumental resources, including a 3.0T whole-body MR imager with a phased-array torso coil; a 7.0T whole-body MR imager (arriving Dec 2005); three small animal MR imagers (4.7, 7.0, and 9.4 T), a vertical bore 4.7T/60cm MR system for non-human primates (arriving Jan 2006); micro-CT, micro-PET, ultrasound, and in vivo optical imaging systems; EMG; and human and animal near-infrared spectroscopy systems. These instruments are all conveniently and centrally located and well supported by human and animal care specialists and facilities. Successful candidates will have a Ph.D. in engineering or physics with some background in life sciences, and possess expertise in MRI (preferred), CT, or nuclear medicine. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. All qualified persons are encouraged to apply. Interested persons should send a cover letter, vita, statement of research interests, and names of three professional references to: Cynthia B.
