The Neuroimaging Research Unit is seeking applications from talented individuals in engineering, physics, biomedical engineering or applied mathematics with a strong interest in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its associated numerical and experimental methods. Candidates will join a multi-disciplinary group of scientists from medicine, biology and engineering, which focus on creating new approaches to solve problems related to neurological diseases.
Please directly contact Assoc. Prof. Dr. Stefan Ropele or Christian Langkammer.
We offer bachelor’s theses, project theses, master’s theses, and doctoral dissertations in the field of quantitative MRI methods in neuroscience.
The Neuroimaging Research Unit at the Department of Neurology focuses on developing new methods for imaging the morphology and function of the brain. The goal of the research group is to deepen the understanding of pathophysiological changes, particularly in stroke, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and as a result of natural aging.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the primary method used. MRI is among the most advanced imaging techniques and is characterized by continuous methodological and technical development with remarkable dynamism. Moreover, MRI research takes place in a highly interdisciplinary environment. Only through close collaboration between engineering sciences (physics, telematics, electrical engineering, and biomedical engineering) and medical sciences can new methods and applications be developed and established in clinical practice.
