MRI / NMR Physicist — Digital Twin

Location: Remote within Europe, with regular presence in Bremen Direct Reports: None; supervision of students possible Working Model: Remote / hybrid. Regular time on-site in Bremen. Mission Build digital-twin and simulation capability for magnetic resonance. The role covers MRI and NMR sequence modelling, simulation of imaging systems validated against measurement, and optimal control applied to pulse design, with a path from research method towards a product and a clinical or industrial application. Responsibilities Pillar 1 Modelling and Simulation - Develop MRI and NMR sequence models and the simulation tooling around them. - Build digital twins of imaging systems and validate them against real measurement. - Apply optimal control and pulse optimisation to magnetic resonance problems. Success Metrics and KPIs: simulation accuracy against measurement, sequences delivered. Pillar 2 Towards Application - Assess the route from research method to product, including any regulatory path. - Work with clinical and industrial partners on validation and use cases. - Identify where the digital-twin approach gives a real advantage over existing tools. Success Metrics and KPIs: partner engagements, validated use cases, product requirements defined. Pillar 3 Research and Collaboration - Publish, and collaborate with Constructor University faculty on imaging and reconstruction. - Contribute to grant applications in medical imaging and quantum sensing. - Supervise students working on reconstruction and simulation. Success Metrics and KPIs: publications, collaborations, grant applications supported. Requirements Experience - PhD in physics, medical physics or a related field. - MRI or NMR sequence development and the physics underneath it. - Simulation and modelling of imaging systems. - Scientific programming in Python or comparable. Skills & Competencies - Able to move between the physics, the code and the application. - Interest in taking a research method towards a product. - Comfortable as the specialist in your area within a broader quantum group. - Clear scientific communication. Education & Languages - PhD in physics, medical physics or a closely related field. - Fluent English. What This Role Is (and Is Not) This role IS - Ownership of a distinct technical area inside a quantum group. - Research with a credible route to application. - University collaboration and supervision built in. This role is NOT - A clinical role. - A purely academic postdoc. - A role confined to one imaging modality.
