[Camino-users] Postdoc position in microstructure imaging, Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre, Denmark

[Tim B. Dyrby]

Dear Camino'ers,
We would like to invite applications for a 3-year postdoc position in 
microstructure imaging. The project has received funding from the Novo 
Nordisk Foundation under the interdisciplinary synergy program entitled 
UHeal “Uncovering Hidden Hearing Loss”.

The aim of UHeal is to design imaging techniques and auditory methods to 
detect and diagnose a recently described noise induced hearing loss that 
a large part of the population has without really knowing it.

The postdoc project will focus on designing encoding waveforms for 
diffusion MRI and will use quantitative MRI acquisitions on a 
preclinical Bruker MRI scanner. Combined with biophysical models the 
acquisition should ensure contrast mechanisms for unravelling the 
underlying cell and axon density of noise induced changes in the inner 
ear and its nerve. The acquisition will be applied in animal models and 
validations will use histology and ultra-high 3D resolution synchrotron 
imaging. Finally, the acquisition must then be adapted to use on 
clinical scanners.

The project will be carried out at The Danish Research Centre for 
Magnetic Resonance (DRCMR), Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre, 
Denmark and is a synergistic collaboration with research teams at The 
Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Harvard Medical School.
