PhD student position (f/m/d)

The Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1456 Mathematics of Experiment: The challenge of indirect measurements in the natural sciences at the Georg-August-University Göttingen has started on January 1, 2021 and offers the position of a PhD student (f/m/d).

The PhD student will work on the project  B03“Low rank and sparsity-based models in Magnetic Resonance Imaging” in the research group of Martin Uecker at the University Medical Center Göttingen and will be co-supervised by Gerlind Plonka Hoch. This project investigates the mathematical foundations of new experimental techniques in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This research project will focus on the inverse problem of reconstructing  images from data collected with MRI and investigate new mathematical models that exploit low-rank properties and sparsity.

The position should be filled as soon as possible (September 01, 2021)

About us:

The aim of CRC 1456 is to develop mathematical data analysis for the natural sciences, i.e. mathematical theory and tools to efficiently extract maximal quantitative information from experimental data. This challenge is addressed in 16 projects which are all lead jointly by a mathematician and an experimental scientist. For more information we refer to the web page https://www.uni-goettingen.de/crc1456.

Your profile:

• You hold a MSc degree (or equivalent) in mathematics or a related field.
• You[TS3]  have a background in inverse problems, numerical algorithms and/or imaging sciences.
• You are interested to work in an interdisciplinary team with an experimental lab and ideally have some background knowledge of physics.
• You are fully proficient in written and spoken English.

The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply in fields in which they are underrepresented. The university has committed itself to being a family-friendly institution and supports their employees in balancing work and family life. The mission of the University is to employ a greater number of severely disabled persons. Applications from severely disabled persons with equivalent qualifications will be given preference.

Your application including a curriculum vitae, a letter of motivation, copies of your certificates and contact information of at least two references should be submitted to the online application platform **** by August 1, 2021
