Job Description

Exciting Opportunity at MSK:RESEARCH POSITION IN MRI GUIDED RADIOTHERAPY- WITH OPTION FOR RESIDENCY TRAINING

The Department of Medical Physics consists of over eighty faculty physicists and computer scientists plus support staff working on various physical problems related to diagnosis and therapy for cancer. MSKCC has an extensive, cutting-edge program in all aspects of radiation oncology physics that seeks to improve the clinical effectiveness of radiation therapy in partnership with radiation oncologists, radiologists, and other medical professionals.Many new programs in radiation therapy research and development are ongoing, including the development of real-time motion adaptation during treatment on the MR-LINAC and conventional linac platforms, the development and clinical use of predictive models using machine learning/AI for treatment planning, improved treatment planning optimization algorithms, integration of MR and PET imaging into radiotherapy decision making and treatment planning, 4D imaging and motion management, the use of Deep Learning and AI for image analysis and tissue segmentation, and the development of informatics-based adaptive radiotherapy processes ( www.mskcc.org/departments/medical-physics ). Medical physics resources include two 3.0 Tesla MRI simulators, one 1.5 Tesla MRI-guided linear accelerator (MR-LINAC), thirty Xray-guided linear accelerators, six HDR units, CT, PET/CT. We can access a high-performance computer cluster with the most advanced GPU resources. We also partner with the New York Proton Center, which houses one cyclotron, three rotational gantry treatment rooms, one fixed beam treatment room, one research beam room, PET/CT, two CTs, two MRIs, and related clinical support space.

RoleOverview:

+ Developing novel acquisition techniques and reconstruction algorithms for high-fideltiy and motion robust Diffusion MRI for radiotherapy treatment planning and response assessment

+ Developing AI-reconstruction algorithms to accelerate Diffusion MRI acquisitions

+ Leading imaging studies, conducting data analysis, and presenting findings in publications and at scientific conferences

+ Translating techniques to our active clinical programs in MRI-simulation and MRI-guided radiotherapy on our 1.5 Tesla MR-LINAC

Key Requirements:

+ Doctorate in medical physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, or similar fields

+ Expertise in MRI acquisition and reconstruction

+ Experience with accelerated reconstruction and/or non-cartesian MRI is a plus

+ Programming expertise (e.g., Python, Matlab)

+ Deep learning / AI experience is a plus

+ Track record of peer-reviewed publications

+ Interest in and commitment to high quality patient care

+ Additional requirements may be necessary for admission into clinical training (if desired)

Core Skills:

+ Doctorate in medical physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, or similar fields

+ Expertise in MRI acquisition and reconstruction

+ Programming expertise (e.g., Python, Matlab)

Application Instructions:

Please include a letter of intent, curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation (or references) in your application. Letter of intent should specify interest in therapeutic or diagnostic clinical training, if applicable.
