Company Overview

At Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK), we’re not only changing the way we treat cancer, but also the way the world thinks about it. By working together and pushing forward with innovation and discovery, we’re driving excellence and improving outcomes.  We’re treating cancer, one patient at a time.

In compliance with applicable State regulatory authorities, COVID-19 vaccination is mandatory for all MSK staff. Staff are considered fully vaccinated upon completion of a primary vaccination series for COVID-19 (i.e., one dose of a single dose vaccine or a final dose of a multi-dose vaccine series). Exceptions from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement are permitted for those who request and receive an approved medical or fully remote exemption.  Requests for medical exemption can take up to two weeks to review. Vaccination or an approved medical exemption is required to start work.

*Staff working at a MSK New Jersey location must be up to date with COVID-19 vaccination, which includes having completed the primary COVID-19 vaccination series and booster once eligible as mandated by New Jersey State. All New Jersey staff not yet eligible for a booster must receive a booster within 3 weeks of becoming eligible as a condition of continued employment at MSK.

 

 

Note: Individuals are eligible to receive a COVID-19 booster two months after completion of a primary vaccination series for COVID-19.  Because vaccine-induced immunity can wane over time, MSK continues to strongly urge all staff to get a COVID-19 booster as soon as they become eligible to maintain their protective immunity for a longer period.

Job Description

The MRI physics group at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) offers a
Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Scientist position in quantitative MRI. The successful
candidate will work under the supervision of Can Wu and Ricardo Otazo.

 

The main goal of the position is to develop novel quantitative imaging biomarkers, such
as T1rho (T1ρ) relaxometry, for cancer treatment response assessment. Specifically, we
are interested in developing motion-robust MRI data acquisition, model-based or deep
learning-based image reconstruction techniques to improve cancer care. The work
involves programming of novel algorithms for MRI image acquisition, reconstruction, and
processing, and their application to clinical cases.

 

The selected candidate will have the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary group
including physicists, engineers, computer scientists and clinicians in the departments of
Medical Physics and Radiation Oncology at one of the world leader institutions in clinical
cancer care and research.

 

Salary will be commensurate with experience and the cost of living in New York City.
Subsidized housing close to the MSK campus is available for Postdoctoral Fellow.

 

Facilities:
• One Elekta Unity MR-Linac system (which includes a 1.5T Philips MRI scanner)
and two 3T Philips MRI scanners (Ingenia and Elition)
• Multiple 1.5T and 3T GE scanners (MR450, MR750, Premier)
• Four high performance computer servers with multiple GPUs for image processing
& reconstruction, and deep-learning tasks
Requirements:
• PhD or MS degree in physics, engineering, computer science, or related field
• Strong programming skills (Python or Matlab) and experience in quantitative
methods for image analysis and processing
• Good written and verbal communication skills in English
