Postdoc Researcher: 4D Ultrasound for Image-Guided Neurosurgery

Job Description The BrainEcho Lab within the Department of Neuroscience at Erasmus MC is looking for a passionate Postdoc (exceptional PhD candidates may also apply) to join our team and develop the next generation of intraoperative neurosurgical image guidance. Currently, neurosurgeons lack real-time, volumetric visualization of brain vasculature during procedures. Your work will bridge this gap, providing clinicians with detailed, continuous 4-dimensional (4D) images that enhance safety and surgical precision.

Key Responsibilities

• Prototype Development: Lead the hardware and software integration to build the first intraoperative 4D ultrasound prototype.
• This will involve working closely with industrial and academic experts.
• Algorithm Design: Develop imaging sequences, beamforming and signal processing algorithms to achieve high frame rates and detailed visualization of cerebral vasculature.
• Clinical Translation: Collaborate closely with neurosurgeons to validate image quality and clinical utility in a real-world setting.
• Dissemination: Publish findings in high-impact journals and present at international conferences.

If you are ready to tackle these challenges and make a significant impact on the field of biomedical imaging and neurosurgery, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity at Erasmus MC.
