Job Detail

Research fellowship position in advanced neuroimaging

During the fellowship your tasks will include:

• Quality assurance with phantom measurements


• Data curation and provision of ground truth reference data from glioma imaging datasets


• Investigation of the accuracy and dependency of automated image segmentation software


• Investigation of the influence of scanner quality on longitudinal quantification of manual and automated segmentations in a random sample of glioma images


• Testing of optimized glioma imaging protocols on different MRI scanners


• Data processing and close interaction with engineers to interpret data


• Summarize your work with the aim to publish findings

We are offering a position as a research fellow (24 months) in one of the largest Neuroradiology Departments in Europe. The position is based at the Support Center of Advanced Neuroimaging, Inselspital Bern, Switzerland. We are looking for a person with a Medical Degree (MD) and basic knowledge in imaging interpretation (ideally in the field of neuro-oncology or neuroimaging). Basic experience in radiomics data analysis is appreciated but not re-quired. You will work in an interdisciplinary team to advance our scientific understanding of imaging biomarkers in brain tumors. You will be hosted and mentored by a senior SCAN scientist who will guide you through your research and provide you with the needed work infrastructure and collaborative network.

The preferred start date of the fellowship is October 2019 or upon availability. We embrace diversity and equal opportunity. The fellow will be offered the advantage to participate in the postgraduate certificate of advanced studies program "Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging" (more information) at a reduced fee and to learn meth-ods of AI application and advanced neuroimaging at 1.5 -7 T MRI. The official language at the Lab is English. Applicants who acquire German language skills (level C1) during their stay may join the training program in neuroradiology after termination of the fellowship program.

As a leading university hospital with a rich tradition, the Inselspital is part of the Insel Group and is a centre of medical expertise and high technology with an international reputation as well as being a first-class training and research centre.
