Project assistant in Medical Radiation Physics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

The research group

The Medical Radiation Physics research group in Malmö conducts research within the multidisciplinary medical radiation physics field, and studies and develops diagnostic and therapeutic techniques involving non-ionizing and ionizing radiation for best possible use in healthcare and medical research. Their work has for many years been at the forefront of the field, and is led by Professor Lars E Olsson. The group is consistent of both researchers and technical staff, and is situated at the Diagnostic Centre at the Skåne University Hospital in Malmö, although the work described here will be conducted in Lund.

We strive for a positive working environment with respectful and caring working relations, as well as for a stimulating workplace. We constantly work to create opportunities for job satisfaction, personal development and participation for all coworkers, and consider physical safety aspects as well as the psychosocial working environment.

We currently seek a project assistant for a temporary full-time position of four months, starting Sep 1 2020, or according to other agreement.

Work duties

As project assistant you will be working in a new research project in Lund, in which the bone marrow of healthy volunteers and patients will be examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). As the methods planned to be used in the project were initially developed for imaging of adipose tissue, dedicated adaptions will be necessary for use in the bone marrow. To develop a reconstruction algorithm for use in future studies, further experiments and simulations are needed.

The project assistant will conduct simulations, phantom experiments and pilot examinations to develop and evaluate an MRI method for investigation of the bone marrow, as well as take part in implementation of an imaging protocol and construction of a reconstruction algorithm.

Qualifications

The following qualifications are required:

• Master's degree of Science in Physics or Technology, or in other relevant field.

Special emphasis will be placed on certain personal qualities. The tasks will require you to be able to work independently and to take initiatives, but also to cooperate with others as well as discuss and describe your work.

Further, the following are considered a merit:

• Experience in MRI physics
• Knowledge in programming, e.g. in Matlab
• Good oral and written proficiency in English and Swedish
