Research Associate in Medical Image Reconstruction

We are looking for a Research Associate passionate about Medical Image Reconstruction in the department of Mathematical Sciences. 

About the role:

You will provide subject-specific research expertise and undertake specific research work to the EPSRC-funded project “PET++: Improving Localisation, Diagnosis and Quantification in Clinical and Medical PET Imaging with Randomised Optimisation”. 

This post is part of a collaborative project between mathematicians in Bath and Cambridge, medical researchers and clinicians from Addenbrookes' hospital and GE Healthcare, with support from advisors from UCL, Oxford, Kings College London, University of Helsinki and KTH Stockholm. For more information, please click here . 

The post carries no teaching or administrative duties. There are generous funds available under the project for attending conferences and conducting research visits.

This post is fixed-term for 13 months, starting on or after 1 July 2022 by mutual agreement.

About you:

You will have, or will be nearing the completion of, a PhD degree in mathematics, engineering, computer science or a closely related subject. You will also be able to demonstrate significant depth and breadth of specialist knowledge of subject matter to contribute to research programmes and to the development of departmental research activities. Expertise in optimisation, inverse problems or medical imaging is desired but not necessarily required.

About us:

The Department of Mathematical Sciences has over 70 academic staff from all areas of Mathematics, and is ranked in the top 100 in the world. Our Department emphasises the unity of Mathematics and there are strong interactions between all research groups: AIMS, NASC, Probability (ProbL@B), Statistics, Analysis and PDEs and AGeNT. Impact is achieved through a wide variety of interdisciplinary research projects, and industrial collaborations.

These activities are supported by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Statistical Applied Mathematics at Bath (SAMBa), which has currently over 80 PhD students. In addition, the Bath Institute for Mathematical Innovation (IMI), promotes, and supports, cross-campus research activities, industrial, and international collaborations, in all areas of mathematics and statistics. Various research centres such as the Centre for Mathematical Biology (CMB), the Centre for Mathematics and Algorithms for Data (MAD), the Centre for Networks and Collective Behaviour (CNCB), and the Centre for Nonlinear Mechanics (CNM), provide focus in interdisciplinary collaborations.
