Department: Academic Program Location: New York, NY ##### **Job details** **About Us:** The people of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are united by a singular mission: ending cancer for life. Our specialized care teams provide personalized, compassionate, expert care to patients of all ages. Informed by basic research done at our Sloan Kettering Institute, scientists across MSK collaborate to conduct innovative translational and clinical research that is driving a revolution in our understanding of cancer as a disease and improving the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat it. MSK is dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and clinicians, who go on to pursue our mission at MSK and around the globe. The MRI Physics Group at MSK is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow or Research Scientist in MR-guided Radiotherapy (MRgRT). The successful candidate will work under the direct supervision of Dr. Can Wu and will participate in MRI research activities within the group led by the Vice Chair of Research, Dr. Ricardo Otazo, in the Department of Medical Physics. The primary goal of this position is to develop novel motion imaging techniques, such as 4D MRI, for motion-adaptive radiation therapy of high-risk thoracic and abdominal tumors. Specifically, we aim to develop motion-resolved MRI data acquisition methods (e.g., 3D radial sampling) and deep learning-based image reconstruction techniques to enable rapid 4D MRI reconstruction for treatment planning of tumors affected by respiratory motion, including those in the lung, pancreas, and liver. The work will involve developing and implementing novel algorithms for MRI data acquisition, image reconstruction, and image processing, as well as translating these techniques into clinical practice. In addition, there will be opportunities to pursue research in quantitative MRI methods for assessing treatment response across a range of tumor sites, including head and neck, rectal, gynecologic, liver,
