Applicants must possess a PhD in a discipline relevant to PET physics and/or medical physics. Applicants must possess 1-2 years relevant experience with quantitative modelling and medical imaging. Experience with quality maintenance of lab equipment, and/or engineering physics are considered an asset. Any additional knowledge and expertise of PET tomographs, dual modality PET/MR, PET/CT or preclinical imaging will be considered an asset.
The ideal candidate will have a working understanding of PET methods including system setup, calibrations and the necessary corrections required to generate quantitative data. Experience in processing PET image data, including image reconstruction and registration / motion correction is an asset. Experience with scripting and software development, (MATLAB, python, or another appropriate language) to address the requirements of the program at the BHIC, and a knowledge of imaging data structures (e.g. NIFTI, DICOM, ecat, BIDS, etc.) will be considered favourably. Experience with network monitoring software (i.e., Nagios) and with other systems administration related tasks will be viewed favourably. Experience in developing analytical pipelines including generation of input functions, radiometabolite analysis, and software packages including PMOD, VivoQuant, Amide, NumPy, FSL etc., or neuroinformatics platforms (i.e. XNAT), is a benefit, along with a proven expertise relevant to brain-PET imaging studies. Expertise in quantitative modelling, including kinetic modelling, regional analysis and parametric mapping is also an asset. An ability to develop appropriate solutions to overcome challenges associated with discovery and for processing pipelines for novel PET tracers for neuroimaging is essential.
Additional skills will include knowledge of Quality Assurance/Quality Control methods for PET data and experience handling and performing experiments with radioactive materials.
Excellent written and communication skills are essential. The candidate must be willing to provide flexibility and the ability to adapt to a fast-paced research environment, as well as to work independently, in a highly collaborative working environment.
Nuclear Energy Worker (NEW) status is mandatory and must be sought upon employment at the Centre if not already obtained.
