Field of Interest:physics
Deadline: 2016-02-29
Region: Africa
Job description:
The ESRF is a multinational research institute, situated in Grenoble, France and financed by 21 countries mostly European. It operates a powerful synchrotron X-ray source with some 30 beamlines (instruments) covering a wide range of scientific research in fields such as biology and medicine, chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, materials and surface science, and physics. The ESRF employs about 600 staff and is organized as a French société civile.
Within the Experiments Division, the Complex Systems and Biomedical Sciences group is now seeking to recruit a:
PhD Thesis Student
Subject: Development of high resolution computed tomography medical imaging
fixed-term contract
GENERAL FRAMEWORK
This PhD work is performed in the frame of an international collaboration including the ESRF and two Swedish Laboratories (University of Uppsala and Lund). It involves working with experts in lung physiology and pathology and using preclinical imaging and advanced synchrotron radiation imaging techniques. The candidate will be required to spend periods in her/his activity alternating between the ESRF and the Swedish laboratories. She/he will participate in the development of preclinical high resolution in-vivo imaging (mostly carried out at the ESRF) and of data analysis and interpretation performed in strong collaboration with the international partners.
DESCRIPTION OF THE THESIS WORK
Ventilator-induced lung injury is one of the major reasons for the high mortality in ventilator treated patients. The microscopic etiology is unknown, particularly whether it is caused by cyclic reopening of small airways and/or alveoli or by displacement of fluids between these structures. The thesis will address this fundamental question. High resolution, low dose, X-ray phase contrast computed tomography will be used as a tool for in-vivo models.
Place of Work: ESRF in Grenoble and University of Uppsala (Sweden)
Supervisor: A. Bravin (+33) (0)4 76 88 28 43
OUR OFFER
The working language of the ESRF is English. You should hold a degree in Physics, materials science or Chemistry allowing enrolment for a PhD, such as an MSc, Master 2 de Recherche, Laurea or equivalent. For further information on employment terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.esrf.fr/Jobs/Conditions. The ESRF is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from disabled persons.
Contract of two years renewable (subject to satisfactory progress) for one year. Monthly gross remuneration: 2320 €.
