Position: Post Doc position
Institution: QIMP team, Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering
The Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering (CMPBME) at the Medical University of Vienna (MUV) invites applications for a PostDoc Scientist to join the Quantitative Imaging and Medical Physics (QIMP) Team.
We seek a highly motivated individual with expertise in hybrid PET / SPECT imaging technology, including data acquisition, correction, image reconstruction, and quantification. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in the methodological foundations of nuclear medicine imaging (PET and/or SPECT), from nuclear physics to advanced data analysis.
Responsibilities
* Lead and support research projects in quantitative imaging (fully-quantitative PET imaging e.g., dynamic, non-FDG tracers and/or SPECT/CT e.g. for dosimetry).
* Engage in clinical research using state-of-the-art total-body PET/CT imaging (Siemens Vision Quadra) and SPEC/CT systems.
* Contribute to the overarching theme of “whole-person research”, e.g. employing dynamic, whole-body PET imaging to explore inter-organ communication.
* Co-supervise PhD projects and pursue innovative research aligned with the team’s mission.
Position Details
The position offers access to cutting-edge imaging facilities, including whole-body PET/MRI, PET/CT, and SPECT/CT systems, alongside non-imaging data (e.g., genomics, IHC). You will collaborate with interdisciplinary teams across clinical and research departments. In particular, your position will be part of a close collaboration with the Division of Nuclear Medicine and their Data Science Core Lab.
This is a 2-year position (extendable!) starting in Q1/2026. The CMPBME fosters a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment with over 50 staff members and numerous graduate students, dedicated to advancing medical imaging and therapy.
Qualifications
* PhD in (medical) Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, or alike.
* Proven expertise in quantitative PET and/or SPECT imaging and image reconstruction.
* Core understanding of kinetic modelling and parametric imaging.
* Proficiency in programming (e.g., C/C++, Python, MATLAB).
* Strong communication skills, team spirit, and fluency in English.
* Awareness of clinically applied research.
