Job description

Recently, the prestigious VICI grant from the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) and the Dutch Technology Foundation (STW) was awarded for the project “Ultrafast 3D Ultrasound Imaging: the next level for cardiovascular diagnosis”. Goal of this project is to develop a completely new ultrasound imaging method that is capable of acquiring ultrasound data in 2D and 3D up to 100 times faster than currently possible. A research ultrasound machine will be developed as well as signal processing techniques for functional imaging of the heart and main arteries. Clinical pilot studies are also part of the project. For this research project, we have a vacant position for an enthusiastic PhD student.

The research ultrasound machine will be based on commercially available programmable 2D ultrasound workstations. For ultrafast 3D imaging, intelligent hardware architecture as well as data storage strategies have to be developed and implemented. This part of the project is performed partly in collaboration with the ErasmusMC, Rotterdam.

Requirements

MSc in Electrical Engineering or a similar university degree
  • Interested in hardware as well as in software development and in signalprocessing
  • Interested in biomedical applications and working in a hospital environment
  • Capable of working in a multi-disciplinary team

Conditions of employment

Maximum all-in yearly salary on full time basis is € 38,090 gross.
Temporary, 1 year with possible extension for 3 years.
