We search for a Lab Assistant with interest in quantitative bone ultrasound

at  CharitUniversittsmedizin Berlin

CHARITÉ-UNIVERSITÄTSMEDIZIN BERLIN - RAUM LAB - IMAGING, SIMULATION & STIMULATION

The Imaging, Simulation & Stimulation (ISS) Laboratory, led by Prof. Kay Raum, is an independent and interdisciplinary team of physicists, engineers and biochemists. Located at the Charitè campus Benjamin Franklin, our lab is dedicated to the development and clinical translation of innovative ultrasound technologies for the diagnosis, tissue engineering and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases.
This position is in the framework of a collaboration with the PoroUS GmbH - a spin-off startup of the ISS Laboratory. We use quantitative ultrasound (QUS) technology with patented intelligent algorithms to measure cortical bone quality at a microscopic scale without ionizing radiation hazards.
We search for a Lab Assistant with interest in quantitative bone ultrasound imaging for an internship and/or BSc/MSc thesis
Be part to kick off a collaborate project EU funded project in sampling porcine bone to design new ultrasound measurement methods

WORKING FIELD:

The Imaging, Simulation and Stimulation lab at Charité is looking for a working student with a background in Physics, Medical Engineering, and simliar studies.
The position will cover topics such as sample testing of animal bones with novel ultrasound measurement methods and the planning and esthablishment of a measurementt protocol for a future animal study.
We are looking for highly motivated and skilled individuals to work in a young and interdisciplinary team. This position can be arranged as a working student position (10 to 20 hours per week), an internship, or a graduation thesis.

REQUIREMENTS:

Your skills…
