MRI / NMR Physicist — Digital Twin

Location: Germany Location: Remote within Europe, with regular presence in Bremen Direct Reports: None; supervision of students possible Working Model: Remote / hybrid. Regular time on-site in Bremen. Mission Build digital-twin and simulation capability for magnetic resonance. The role covers MRI and NMR sequence modelling, simulation of imaging systems validated against measurement, and optimal control applied to pulse design, with a path from research method towards a product and a clinical or industrial application. Responsibilities Pillar 1 Modelling and Simulation Develop MRI and NMR sequence models and the simulation tooling around them. Build digital twins of imaging systems and validate them against real measurement. Apply optimal control and pulse optimisation to magnetic resonance problems. Success Metrics and KPIs: simulation accuracy against measurement, sequences delivered. Pillar 2 Towards Application Assess the route from research method to product, including any regulatory path. Work with clinical and industrial partners on validation and use cases. Identify where the digital-twin approach gives a real advantage over existing tools. Success Metrics and KPIs: partner engagements, validated use cases, product requirements defined. Pillar 3 Research and Collaboration Publish, and collaborate with Constructor University faculty on imaging and reconstruction. Contribute to grant applications in medical imaging and quantum sensing. Supervise students working on reconstruction and simulation. Success Metrics and KPIs: publications, collaborations, grant applications supported. Requirements Experience PhD in physics, medical physics or a related field. MRI or NMR sequence development and the physics underneath it. Simulation and modelling of imaging systems. Scientific programming in Python or comparable. Skills & Competencies Able to move between the physics, the code and the application. Interest in taking a research method towards a product. Comfortable as the specialist in your area within a broader quantum group. Clear scientific communication. Education & Languages PhD in physics, medical physics or a closely related field. Fluent English. What This Role Is (and Is Not) This role IS Ownership of a distinct technical area inside a quantum group. Research with a credible route to application. University collaboration and supervision built in. This role is NOT A clinical role. A purely academic postdoc. A role confined to one imaging modality.
