The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is announcing a major, university-wide Strategic Hiring Initiative to hire six (6) full-time tenure-track and tenure faculty positions at all levels (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Full Professor) for Leveraging 7T MRI for Brain Health and Precision Medicine that lies at the critical intersection of advanced imaging technology, imaging science, neuroscience, and health.
Ultrahigh Field MRI to Unlock next Generation of Brain Science
University of Illinois Researchers are leveraging a new 7 T human MRI system to develop the next generation of brain imaging technologies.
Join us to help lead into this new imaging frontier.
This major institutional investment, which spans across the Grainger College of Engineering, the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, the College of Applied Health Sciences, and Carle Illinois College of Medicine seeks to leverage local expertise in imaging and neuroscience, combined with institutional investments in MRI, including in the Beckman Institute Biomedical Imaging Center (BIC) and the Carle Illinois Advanced Imaging Center (CI AIC).
Participating Departments and Strategic Targets:
- Bioengineering (x2) – (job ad) MR hardware (RF, pTx), new acquisition approaches, new applications of UHF
- Electrical and Computer Engineering – (job ad) RF coil design and testing, pTx, new acquisition approaches
- Psychology – leveraging advanced technology to further our understanding of the brain
- Health and Kinesiology – using increased sensitivity to track the impact of interventions on brain changes
- College of Medicine – pushing clinical imaging further to see pathology and measure progression and therapy
Even outside of these direct positions in the cluster hire, there are other opportunities on campus to participate in ultrahigh field imaging. See these other searches:
- Siebel School of Computing and Data Science – (job ad) – interests in Neuro-Informatics: Big Data Computational Systems Neuroscience
