Master Student for Expandable Radiofrequency Coils for Intraventricular 19F MRI

Location

Freiburg im Breisgau | Germany

Job description

In general, the resonance of a TLR depends only on its dimensions and the electromagnetic properties of the dielectric between the trans­mission line and the ground [ Zabel et al. 1987 , Sreereddy, Bock, Özen 2022]. In this master thesis project an intraventricular (iv) coil for 19F MRI will be developed and characterized that uses a superelastic coaxial cable. The project includes design, construction and testing an iv-RF coil prototype which will then be applied for intraventricular 19F MRI experiments. The thesis is part of a DFG-funded project on Temporal dynamics of monocyte migration after myocardial infarction with 19F-MRI and the SFB 1425 .

The successful candidate should have an interest and/or some initial experience/background in:

• RF electronics and experience in circuit design and simulation

• Basic understanding of electromagnetics

• Proficiency in MRI physics is a plus

We offer:

• emerging field of research in an interdisciplinary dynamic research environment 

• continuous support and supervision at every stage of the study and thesis

• national and international cooperations (visits supported)

• a potential extension of the position towards a PhD thesis

The starting date is negotiable. If you have an interest and/or experience in MRI, motivation to contribute to high quality signal detection tools using cutting-edge hardware and facilities, please submit your appli­cation and documents (short CV, contact information of one reference person, B.Sc. and M.Sc. transcripts) to

University Medical Center Freiburg
