Job Summary
We invite applications to join our dynamic and interdisciplinary TRUST research group, pioneers on transcranial ultrasound brain imaging, as a post-doctoral researcher.
As part of our group, you will carry out independent research across the fields of ultrasound, physics, mathematics and bioengineering to address some of the key real-world challenges for imaging the adult human brain through the skull with ultrasound at high resolution, and you will be encouraged to explore new avenues relevant to the field.
We will help you to become an international leader in this field and offer you opportunities for skill development that are relevant to the project and for your future career. You may hold a PhD and have post-doctoral experience or equivalent, either in an academic institution or the industry, and must be willing to work across departments and in multi-disciplinary teams.

Your research work will involve modelling wave propagation in high-performance computing facilities and/or on GPUs, imaging by means of tomographic data inversion, analysis of tomographic data and the development of new algorithms, which may include the use of artificial intelligence. You will be able to validate the developed workflows, mathematical methods and concepts in a fully-equipped ultrasound laboratory with tissue-mimicking phantoms and in in-vivo experiments.
