Research Staff Vacancies
Job title Research Associate in MR-PET, - Ref:1327245
UCL Department / Division Medical Physics and Bioengineering
Specific unit / Sub department The Centre for Medical Image Computing
Grade 7
Hours Full Time
Salary (inclusive of London allowance) £32,375 to £39,132 per annum
Duties and Responsibilities
The project aims to exploit unique capabilities of the PET/MRI system for improving PET reconstruction, incorporating motion detection and joint kinetic analysis, for the potential benefit of clinical research.
We seek an enthusiastic research-oriented scientist to join an EPSRC funded multidisciplinary project to develop novel technology associated with the UK’s first simultaneous PET/MRI system, installed at University College Hospital (UCH). The participating UCL centres have an international reputation for research on medical imaging with a strong multidisciplinary team of senior scientists and four PhD students directly involved in the project.
The post holder will work as part of a multidisciplinary team responsible for the research, based either in the Institute of Nuclear Medicine, the Centre for Medical Image Computing, Department of Computer Science or the Centre for Medical Imaging and will interact and work under guidance of other more senior staff. The post holder will also assist with supervision of other staff and students working on associated projects. It is anticipated that the outcomes of the research would lead to publication and presentation at local and international conferences.
The position is offered initially for a period of three years
Key Requirements
Applicants should have an honours degree (first or upper second) in mathematics, computer science, physics, engineering or related discipline. Candidates must also have a PhD, preferably on a topic related to medical imaging and with previous experience in medical image processing and GPU programming. Proven capability for independent research and well-developed computer skills are essential, together with a track record of publication and presentation in key journals and international conferences.

Research Associate, Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography for Breast Cancer Imaging, - Ref:1333760
UCL Department / Division Medical Physics and Bioengineering
Specific unit / Sub department The Centre for Medical Image Computing
Grade 7
Hours Full Time
Salary (inclusive of London allowance) £32,375 to £39,132 per annum
Duties and Responsibilities
An opportunity has arisen for an individual to take a major role in recently funded breast imaging research projects at CMIC. These technical projects, focused on ultrasound imaging of breast cancer, are in partnership with the University of Dundee, King’s College London and a number of other European (AT, DE, NL) and US (UCHI, BRRH) centers of excellence in breast cancer imaging. The job involves working closely with lead and co-investigators to ensure implementation of all aspects of the project, and occasional travel to meetings in Dundee and partner sites within the EU.
The research associate will undertake internationally competitive research in the field of breast cancer imaging, with particular emphasis on breast ultrasound and ultrasound shear wave elastography (US-SWE). In particular, he or she will investigate how US-SWE relates to tissue microstructure as represented on histological imaging of surgical specimens.This post is available for 36 months in the first instance.
Key Requirements
The successful candidate will have have a PhD or equivalent in ultrasound imaging, medical image computing, quantitative radiology, bio-mechanical modelling or similar. They will also have an honours degree in mathematics, physics or computer science. A good understanding of the principles and practices of medical imaging (including X-ray mamography, magnetic resonance imaging and tomosynthesis) is essential.
