Postdoctoral Fellowship in Interventional MRI

The Department of Radiology of Johns Hopkins University is searching for Postdoctoral Fellows to join a group of investigators developing interventional MRI techniques. Three positions are open.

The research projects are:

  1. the design of optimum RF coils. In this project, the optimum magnetic field will be calculated and the coil that generates this optimum field will be designed.
  2. development of real-time MR scanner software/hardware for MR-guided coronary artery interventions. In collaboration with researcher at NIH and GEMS, we will develop a system (pulse sequences/interactive control of scan parameters) that enables interventionalist to conduct coronary interventions in using an MR scanner.
  3. development of a system for MR-guided prostate therapy in a short high-field magnet. In this project, a robot for the guidance of the theraputic procedure will be developed.

Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellows/Research Associates (2 positions)


Location: Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore Maryland USA


Date: September - October/2002

 

Research project I:
Development of non-invasive and intravascular optical imaging systems for detection of fluorescent and bioluminescent reporter genes transfected into and expressed from different organs, especially the vasculature.

Experience required in several of the following areas:
1) Biomedical optics, light transport in biological tissues, fiber optics, detection of fluorescent and bioluminescent markers in tissues
2) In vitro studies with cell and molecular biology
3) In vivo studies using animals
4) Optical imaging, endoscopy

Research project II:
Development of a new technology of ultrasound/MR imaging-based, microsphere/liposome/microbubble-mediated gene therapy.

Experience required in several of the following areas:
1) Application of synthetic and biological polymers/microbubbles/liposomes to gene/drug delivery and therapy, and tissue engineering
2) In vitro studies with cell and molecular biology
3) In vivo studies using animals
4) Ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
