PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Ireland

The Neuroimaging Labs Research Center (NIL-RC) in the Department of Radiology at Washington University in St. Louis is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join a multidisciplinary team studying neurodevelopment, healthy aging, and Alzheimer disease. The fellow will work on projects that bring together multiple data types to better understand how the brain changes across the lifespan. The research combines neuroimaging data from MRI and PET with behavioral measures such as neuropsychological and...

This PhD project at Leiden University Medical Center focuses on brain clearance : how the brain removes waste products and how disturbances in this process may contribute to dementia. The student will investigate cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and related mechanisms using innovative MRI techniques together with a wearable measurement device called the glymphometer , which is based on near-infrared spectroscopy and can be worn overnight. The research combines technical development with clinical inv...

The Kiyoto Kasai Laboratory at the International Research Organization for Neurointelligence (IRCN), University of Tokyo, is seeking a specially appointed researcher equivalent to a postdoctoral fellow for a team-science project in translational psychiatry . The research examines the brain pathology of mental illnesses, particularly schizophrenia, using multi-layered data from humans and model animals. The project integrates MRI, omics, molecular biology, peripheral blood samples, and translatio...

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to join research in neuroimaging within the Department of Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences in the School of Integrated Health Sciences. The role is centered on work with the UNLV MR Imaging Core (UMIC), a public brain imaging research facility that supports interdisciplinary investigation of brain function and brain health. The scholar will work on MRI-based research and development, with opportunities to contribute to t...

This research opportunity is hosted by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory’s Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD) in Adelphi, Maryland. The project sits at the intersection of silicon carbide materials science, quantum device concepts, optoelectronics, and power-device integration , with a clear emphasis on enabling next-generation functional devices based on wide-bandgap semiconductors. The advertised research directions focus on three closely related themes. First, the selected resear...

This PhD project at Radboud University Medical Center focuses on multiple system atrophy (MSA) , a rare and serious brain disorder that often resembles Parkinson’s disease but progresses more rapidly. The position combines two connected research tracks aimed at improving care for people with MSA and the professionals who diagnose and study it. In the first track, the project develops an AI-supported pathway for MSA knowledge sharing and education . Because most neurologists see MSA only rarely, ...

The Department of Neurology at the University of California, Irvine is inviting applications for a postdoctoral scholar position in the Sajjadi Lab, led by Dr. S. Ahmad Sajjadi . The project sits within a research environment focused on neurology and brain disorders, with the successful candidate joining a lab and department engaged in studies of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The postdoctoral researcher will work on neuroimaging analysis, including MRI and possibly PET scan data, an...

This PhD project at Maastricht University and Maastricht UMC+ explores how the smallest blood vessels in the brain contribute to dementia and the clearance of harmful waste products from brain tissue. The work is part of the MODEM consortium, which studies the biological mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of dementia. You will investigate the neurovascular unit, with a particular focus on how capillaries interact with surrounding brain tissue and how microvascular function may relat...

This PhD project at UMC Utrecht focuses on person-centred care and technological innovation in brain diagnostics, with a specific emphasis on bringing MRI closer to the patient and into primary care. The project is part of the consortium initiative Brain Matters and the broader Reimagine Imaging programme, which aims to redesign how people are referred, guided, and supported through the imaging pathway. The PhD student will work on the development of a largely automated MRI set-up in which patie...
