[Denmark] PhD studentship - Copenhagen University
An appointment as an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) is available at Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance (DRCMR) as part of a European funded Marie-Curie Research Training Network entitled PHELINET (Polarized Helium Imaging Network). The PHELINET network is focused on the topic ‘Innovative, non-invasive lung MRI techniques for clinical diagnosis and lung therapy’ and DRCMR is involved in the research line aiming at applying hyperpolarized 3He for human studies. Patients with different lung diseases (COPD, cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia) will be studied with the aim of evaluating the potential of hyperpolarized 3He MRI for diagnosis and treatment monitoring. The successful candidate will be involved in implementation of new imaging methods at the 1.5 T scanner used for 3He MRI as well as developing new methods for image post-processing. The work will be carried out in close collaboration with a medical PhD student. The PhD student will be encouraged to participate in collaborations with other PHELINET research teams and will be invited to attend training schools organized within the network
Funding: The project is funded as part of the EU- 6th Framework Program - Research and Training Network “PHELINET” (Polarised Helium Lung Imaging Network, 2007-2011, information posted on http://www.phil.ens.fr). As a consequence, specific rules with trans-national mobility conditions apply for recruitment
Gross amount of employment contract: 39440 euros/year. Marie Curie fellows also receive travel, mobility, and relocation allowances
Restrictive conditions: For detailed information about the rules of mobility and conditions of nationality applicable to eligible researchers, please visit: http://ec.europa.eu/research/fp6/mariecurie-actions/ In particular: 1/The candidate should preferably (but not exclusively) be a national of EU Member or Associated States, excluding Denmark; 2/ At the date of appointment, she/he should not have resided or worked in Denmark for more than 12 months in the last 3 years. PHELINET recruitment is based on an equal opportunity policy. Female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply
