Scientist I

The Department of Radiology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, School of Medicine & Public Health is seeking a Scientist I to work with Dr. Laura Eisenmenger in the evaluation of 4D flow MRI in an autosomal dominant vascular dementia, CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy). The Scientist I will more broadly test and validate novel quantitative MR methods through testing in phantoms and in people. This will then be applied to evaluate vascular changes in normal aging compared with vascular pathology in CADASIL. They will work closely with radiologists and other clinicians to provide engineering solutions to clinical needs and challenges.

The successful candidate will collaborate on MRI development and implementation research, with a focus on vascular imaging, including investigating the role of vascular health, vascular aging, and vascular disease on the brain.

The Scientist I position will work closely with multiple research groups and assist with mentorship of junior researchers. May supervise approximately 2-3 graduate students.
