The Norwegian 7T MR Center in Trondheim opened in 2020. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) hosts the center, which is part of the national infrastructure in neuroscience, NORBRAIN. The primary focus for the 7T Center is brain imaging for neuroscientific research, but it also serves several additional objectives, both in the brain and in other body regions. Clinical use of the 7T scanner is handled by St.Olavs University Hospital HF, and the staff at the 7T MR Center consists of dedicated personnel from both NTNU and St.Olavs Hospital.

The 7T Center is localized in the area of St.Olavs Hospital. The imaging facilities at NTNU/St.Olavs Hospital also include PET/MR and 3T MR scanners as well as strong research activities in pre-clinical MR. The MR community in Trondheim consists of large group of researchers and clinicians from NTNU and St.Olavs Hospital working together in highly multidisciplinary projects, covering background and competence within MR-physics, medicine, neuroscience, psychology, mathematics, computer science and engineering. This environment offers a unique combination of research and method development.

The main focus for this position is to facilitate and interface the research projects at the 7T MR Center. This involves many different tasks such as optimization of scan-protocols, pulse sequence development, data acquisition, processing and analysis.
