Post Doc Position Quantitative Nuclear Medicine in Vienna

Position : Post Doc position

Institution : QIMP team, Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

The Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering (CMPBME) at the Medical University of Vienna (MUV) invites applications for a PostDoc Scientist to join the Quantitative Imaging and Medical Physics (QIMP) Team.

We seek a highly motivated individual with expertise in hybrid PET / SPECT imaging technology, including data acquisition, correction, image reconstruction, and quantification. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in the methodological foundations of nuclear medicine imaging (PET and/or SPECT), from nuclear physics to advanced data analysis.

Responsibilities

Lead and support research projects in quantitative imaging (fully-quantitative PET imaging e.g., dynamic, non-FDG tracers and/or SPECT/CT e.g. for dosimetry).

Engage in clinical research using state-of-the-art total-body PET/CT imaging (Siemens Vision Quadra) and SPEC/CT systems.

Contribute to the overarching theme of“whole-person research”, e.g. employing dynamic, whole-body PET imaging to explore inter-organ communication.

Co-supervise PhD projects and pursue innovative research aligned with the team’s mission.

Position Details The position offers access to cutting-edge imaging facilities, including whole-body PET/MRI, PET/CT, and SPECT/CT systems, alongside non-imaging data (e.g., genomics, IHC). You will collaborate with interdisciplinary teams across clinical and research departments. In particular, your position will be part of a close collaboration with the Division of Nuclear Medicine and their Data Science Core Lab.

This is a 2-year position (extendable!) starting in Q1/2026. The CMPBME fosters a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment with over 50 staff members and numerous graduate students, dedicated to advancing medical imaging and therapy.

Qualifications

PhD in (medical) Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, or alike.

Proven expertise in quantitative PET and/or SPECT imaging and image reconstruction.

Core understanding of kinetic modelling and parametric imaging.

Proficiency in programming (e.g., C/C++, Python, MATLAB).

Strong communication skills, team spirit, and fluency in English.

Awareness of clinically applied research.
