PhD candidate (d/w/m) in radiology with a focus on multiparametric MRI
Specialty: Nuclear medicine, Radiology
Work time: part-time (75%)
Start date: 01.01.2027
Employment period: limited until 30.06.2030
About the project
The MR Elastography Working Group is part of the interdisciplinary Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1340 at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and conducts research at the intersection of medicine, preclinical research, physics, and computer science.
This subproject focuses on investigating tumor-associated inflammation and biophysical interactions between the tumor and the liver to identify imaging markers for disease progression and response to therapeutic treatment. The markers will also be evaluated to analyze the response to image-guided, locoregional therapies in interventional radiology.
The project involves:
- Performing quantitative MRI/MRE scans
- Analyzing biosamples from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
- Correlating imaging studies (conducted before and after locoregional therapy) with molecular and histopathological findings from peri-interventional liver and tumor biopsies
In collaboration with clinical and scientific partners within the SFB 1340, the research combines methodological development, experimental ultrasound and MRI systems, and biophysical modeling into a translational research approach.
Tasks & Responsibilities
- Planning and optimizing MRI examination protocols and sequences
- Independently performing MRI/MRE examinations as part of scientific studies (when necessary)
- MR image analysis and biostatistical evaluations
- Preparation of scientific publications
- Opportunity for academic training (doctoral degree) during working hours according to §110 (4), sentence 3 BerlHG
Qualifications
- Master’s degree (or equivalent) in biomedical engineering, physics, or a related field
- Practical experience in MRI and an interest in oncological imaging
- Knowledge of data collection and analysis, as well as prior experience in biostatistics
- Excellent written and spoken English skills
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Experience in programming MRI sequences
- Experience in conducting clinical trials
- Meticulous, independent, and self-directed work style with a high degree of initiative
- Ability to quickly familiarize yourself with new subject areas
- Conceptual thinking and the ability to interpret scientific data for high-quality scientific manuscripts
Working Conditions
- Part-time (75%)
- 30 days of paid vacation per year
- Salary group E13/Ä1 (TVöD VKA-K) (based on qualifications and experience)
