We are hiring a physicist or a biomedical/electrical engineer with MR physics, RF coil design, or pulse sequence design/programming experience to participate in cutting-edge research projects at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Harvard Medical School. One project involves translating hyperpolarized metabolic MRI to human research, pulse sequence designs, and novel 13C RF coil designs for hyperpolarized imaging. The second project involves nextgeneration ultra-high gradient strength human MRI scanner (aka Connectome 2.0) hardware and pulse sequence programming.

The Martinos Center offers one of the best biomedical imaging research environment, including 14 clinical and pre-clinical NMR, MRI and PET-MR instruments ranging from 0.0065 T to 15 T, state-of-the-art RF coil lab, MEG lab, optical imaging labs, radiochemistry lab, and cGMP Production facility, in a space of approximately 85,000 square feet in Boston, Massachusetts. We are a leading institute in PET-MRI research, with 33 NIH funded studies utilizing two clinical PET-MR scanners. With two new dissolution-DNP (d-DNP) polarizers now fully operational, Dr. Yi-Fen Yen is taking the lead to develop “Hyper-PET” for comprehensive metabolic imaging research in animal model and human. The Center is also awarded a major NIH funding, led by Dr. Susie Huang (with co-investigator Dr. Berkin Bilgic), for the development of Connectome 2.0 for bridging studies of the micro-, mesoand macro-connectome. 

Candidates with a PhD and research experience in MR physics, MRI system hardware, RF coil design, and/or MR pulse sequence design are encouraged to apply. Experience in areas specifically related to hyperpolarized metabolic imaging or Connectome projects is a plus but not required. We offer friendly and fast-paced research environment, superb training and mentorship, and career coaching. The opportunity for career growth is enormous. The position is full-time with benefits and available starting immediately. A two-year time commitment is required. MGH is an Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action Employer.
