Job description:

We seek a creative, collaborative and motivated candidate with an interest in medical ultrasound research with a focus on ultrasound elastography techniques. The candidate identified for this fellowship will work on projects related to ultrasound imaging and ultrasound-based characterization of tissues using elastographic techniques. Our goal is to transform medical ultrasound diagnosis through work that spans hardware and algorithm development focused on image and data analysis. The right candidate will have background in medical ultrasound with an excellent understanding of ultrasound physics and signal and image processing.

Our laboratory has extensive experience in non-invasive ultrasound techniques used in both medical applications and mechanical structures. The Principal Investigator has extensive experience towards developing techniques that can be used in the evaluation of tissue mechanical properties for the purposes of disease diagnosis. Elastography methods are available on machines produced by every major ultrasound vendor, and these techniques are used worldwide for assessing various conditions. The potential for impacting many patients is highly possible due to the widespread dissemination of ultrasound scanners.

A Research Fellow at AGH UST is a temporary position intended to provide training and education in research. Individuals will train in the research program of an AGH UST Principal Investigator. Qualified individuals will demonstrate the potential for research as evidenced by their training and peer-reviewed publications and should become competitive for national research grants.

The successful applicant will:

The successful candidate will be appointed at the AGH UST and will be expected to proactively develop research interests and to work effectively with others. Candidates who seek creative academic careers will have excellent growth opportunities, access to committed mentors, assistance with defining an early career trajectory, and mentored opportunities to apply for career development and research grants. Candidates will gain a deep understanding of key problems in medical imaging. Across a wide range of projects, our laboratory has developed specific expertise in advanced signal processing and there will be opportunities to gain exposure to these techniques.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Medical Physics, Acoustics, Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Statistics, Computer Science, or a related discipline.

Should be granted with a doctoral degree no later than 7 years before starting this position.

Strong knowledge of ultrasound wave propagation physics, signal processing, and experience with medical ultrasound instrumentation is required.

Strong communication skills in written and verbal English are required.

Proficiency in one or more programming language, especially MATLAB or Python is required.

Experience with signal and image analysis skills is desirable.

Knowledge of FD, FE or other numerical methods will be a plus.

A demonstrated record of high-quality publications in ultrasound related journals will be advantageous.

Strong motivation to explore new techniques and concepts is required.

We do team science with strong team member autonomy. Qualified candidates should be self-motivated and possess the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

Applicants, at the time of application, should send:

a cover letter describing research experience, interests and goals;

a CV with a full list of publications;

three letters of recommendation, signed, on letterhead, describing: relationship to the applicant, past work/academic performance, work qualities/personal conduct, overall assessment of potential for success in research environment;

doctoral degree certification, if applicable, original or notarized copy of diploma or final transcript issued by school (English translation required).
