Research Associate in Super-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging

Research Associate in Super-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging

Join to apply for the Research Associate in Super-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging role at King\’s College London.

About Us

Applications are invited for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate position as part of a Medical Research Council funded project in the Research Department of Imaging Physics & Engineering, within the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences (BMEIS) at King’s College London. This role is based at St Thomas’ Hospital with links to King’s College Hospital, offering a unique opportunity at the intersection of clinical and engineering research to develop innovative imaging techniques for cancer detection.

The project focuses on super-resolution ultrasound (SR-US) imaging, which surpasses conventional ultrasound resolution limits, enabling detailed visualization of microvascular structures crucial for disease characterization and intervention. Advances in ultrafast data acquisition and 2D array technology facilitate the development of 3D SR-US imaging.

Role Overview

This position offers an exciting opportunity to develop cutting-edge methodologies for SRUS in 2D and 3D, involving data acquisition, processing, and experimental design. The successful candidate will work closely with the project fellow, develop experimental protocols, and implement processing software, requiring strong programming skills (e.g., MATLAB) and experience in ultrasound imaging.

Candidate Requirements

• PhD in a STEM field or submission pending
• Excellent communication skills in English
• Research background with peer-reviewed publications
• Programming proficiency
• Experience with medical imaging and ultrasound systems
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively
• Enthusiastic and scientific approach to problem-solving

Desirable Skills

• Experience with ultrasound image analysis
• Experimental research experience
• Teamwork in multidisciplinary settings
• Analysis of spatio-temporal data

Contract Details

Full-time, fixed-term until 31 October 2025, salary range £44,355 – £51,735 per annum, including London Weighting.
