Engineer in Computational Imaging and Deep Learning for Low Field MRI

Internationally recognized generalist engineering school of the IMT (Institut Mines-Télécom), a leading French engineering school (Technological University), IMT Atlantique aims to support transitions, train responsible engineers, and use scientific excellence to serve teaching, research, and innovation.

As part of the ICI (Computational Imaging for Ultra-Low Field MRI) project, which aims to develop a portable and accessible MRI imaging system based on a computational approach and artificial intelligence, in collaboration with Brest University Hospital and Multiwave (Marseille), we are recruiting an Engineer to join our Data Science department (DSD).

In collaboration with the project team, you will develop and maintain the software chain for reconstructing and analyzing ultra-low field MRI images (Python, PyTorch). You will manage, store, and distribute MRI data acquired on the ultra-low field machine in collaboration with project partners. You will assist researchers and engineers in using the tools developed and promoting the results (documentation, packaging, open source distribution). You will contribute to the technical coordination of the project with industrial (Mutiwave) and academic (LaTIM, Brest University Hospital) partners.
