1 PhD and 2 postdoc positions in deep learning applied to magnetic resonance imaging/physics

One PhD and two postdoc positions are available at the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at St. Olav’s University Hospital in Trondheim, Norway, to start in the autumn/winter of 2020. All three positions are full time (100%), and have a fixed term of three years. The three positions will constitute the main workforce for the project “Deep learning cancer diagnostics from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging”, funded by the Research Council of Norway. The project will be led by Dr. Peter T. While, physicist and researcher at the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at St. Olav’s University Hospital.

This project will open up a new, non-invasive means for assessing cancer. Presently, cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring using an MRI scanner require the injection of a potentially harmful contrast agent, whereas contrast-free alternatives are too inefficient and imprecise for clinical use. The proposed approach will combine highly efficient, novel imaging strategies with artificial intelligence, to permit fast, contrast-free and robust cancer diagnostics.
