About the role
Location: Remote within Europe, with regular presence in Bremen
Direct Reports: None; supervision of students possible
Working Model: Remote / hybrid. Regular time on-site in Bremen.
Mission
Build digital-twin and simulation capability for magnetic resonance. The role covers MRI and NMR sequence modelling, simulation of imaging systems validated against measurement, and optimal control applied to pulse design, with a path from research method towards a product and a clinical or industrial application.
Responsibilities
Pillar 1 Modelling and Simulation • Develop MRI and NMR sequence models and the simulation tooling around them. • Build digital twins of imaging systems and validate them against real measurement. • Apply optimal control and pulse optimisation to magnetic resonance problems.
Success Metrics and KPIs: simulation accuracy against measurement, sequences delivered.
Pillar 2 Towards Application • Assess the route from research method to product, including any regulatory path. • Work with clinical and industrial partners on validation and use cases. • Identify where the digital-twin approach gives a real advantage over existing tools.
Success Metrics and KPIs: partner engagements, validated use cases, product requirements defined.
Pillar 3 Research and Collaboration • Publish, and collaborate with Constructor University faculty on imaging and reconstruction. • Contribute to grant applications in medical imaging and quantum sensing. • Supervise students working on reconstruction and simulation.
Success Metrics and KPIs: publications, collaborations, grant applications supported.
Requirements
Experience • PhD in physics, medical physics or a related field. • MRI or NMR sequence development and the physics underneath it. • Simulation and modelling of imaging systems. • Scientific programming in Python or comparable.
Skills & Competencies • Able to move between the physics, the code and the application. • Interest in taking a research method towards a product. • Comfortable as the specialist in your area within a broader quantum group. • Clear scientific communication.
Education & Languages • PhD in physics, medical physics or a closely related field. • Fluent English.
What This Role Is (and Is Not)
This role IS • Ownership of a distinct technical area inside a quantum group. • Research with a credible route to application. • University collaboration and supervision built in.
This role is NOT • A clinical role. • A purely academic postdoc. • A role confined to one imaging modality.
