The detection modules will be based on specially designed CZT detectors with depth-of-interaction measurements. Tuned reconstruction algorithms will be developed to make the best of the detector capabilities. The project also includes the assessment of the prototype for cardiac, brain and cancer imaging applications in collaboration with three INSERM and CEA validation centers. We are looking for researchers who have experience in:<br> -<x-tab>      </x-tab>SPECT or PET simulations,<br> -<x-tab>      </x-tab>Detector and collimator design,<br> -<x-tab>        </x-tab>Tomographic reconstruction algorithms.<br> <br> This is an exciting 3 year project which will provide opportunities for both basic research as well as development/deployment of fully functional prototypes for biological applications, in close collaboration with several teams of physicists (CNRS, CEA-LETI, Biospace lab), computer scientists and physicians (INSERM, CEA).<br> <br> The ANR-funded (French Research Agency) post-doctoral position is for 18 months renewable for 3 years. The successful candidate will be based at the Ť Imaging and Modeling in Neurobiology and Cancerology ť research lab, UMR 8165 CNRS Paris 7 University - Paris 11 University, in the Orsay campus (20 km south of Paris), France.</font><br> <font color="#000000"></font></div> <div><font color="#000000">If interested and for further information, please email resume and two references to Irčne Buvat (</font><font color="#0000FF"><u>buvat@imnc.in2p3.fr</u></font><font color="#000000">).</font></div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div>-------------------------------<br> Irčne Buvat, PhD<br> Projet "Quantification en Imagerie Moléculaire"<br> Imagerie et Modélisation en Neurobiologie et Cancérologie<br> IMNC - UMR 8165 CNRS<br> Campus d'Orsay<br> Bâtiment 104<br> 91406 ORSAY Cedex<br> <br> Tel : (33) (0)1 69 15 36 40<br> Fax : (33) (0)1 69 15 71 96<br> e-mail : buvat@imnc.in2p3.fr<br> http://www.guillemet.org/irene</div> </body> </html>
