'''About the Institution'''

The Institute of Myology, located in Paris at the heart of Europe’s largest hospital complex (Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital), was founded in 1996 at the initiative of the AFM-Téléthon. Its mission: to promote and advance myology as a clinical and scientific discipline.
The Institute coordinates medical care, fundamental and applied research, clinical research, and teaching activities.
Today: 300 muscle experts, 34,000 patient files, more than 6,000 consultations annually, a dedicated research center in myology, and a neuromuscular exploration center.

'''About the Position'''

The Institute of Myology is recruiting a **MRI Sequence Development Engineer (M/F)** on a **fixed-term contract** to join the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy Laboratory within the **Neuromuscular Evaluation and Exploration Center (CEEN)**.
You will contribute to the development and validation of quantitative MRI and spectroscopy sequences on a small-animal MRI system (**Bruker 7T**), ensuring methodological consistency with human clinical approaches (**Siemens 3T**).
This position plays a key role in the Institute’s strategic translational research activities.

'''Responsibilities'''

*Development of MRI Sequences*
- Analyze quantitative MRI methods used on the clinical system (Siemens 3T).
- Adapt and implement these methods on the Bruker PharmaScan 7T small-animal system.
- Program innovative sequences tailored to small-animal imaging constraints.

*Validation and Optimization*
- Perform experimental validations using test objects and phantoms.
- Test and optimize acquisitions on healthy murine models.
- Validate sequences on animal models with muscle alterations.

*Scientific Support and Collaboration*
- Collaborate with the multidisciplinary team on data acquisition and analysis.
- Contribute to technical and scientific documentation.
- Ensure methodological consistency between animal and human studies.

'''Qualifications'''

- Engineering degree or Master’s degree (MSc) in physics, medical imaging, or a related field.
- Certification in animal experimentation (Level II or equivalent) is a plus.

'''Required Skills'''

*Technical Skills*
- Advanced knowledge of NMR and MRI sequence development.
- Programming skills: C, C++, Python.
- Ability to analyze and adapt quantitative MRI methods to both Bruker (small animal) and Siemens (clinical) systems.
- Code structuring, validation, and documentation.
- Experimental protocol design: phantom studies, optimization on murine models.
- MRI data processing and analysis.
- Writing of technical and scientific documentation.
- Compliance with safety and animal experimentation regulations.
- Ability to work within a multidisciplinary team and contribute to project coordination.
- Professional English (minimum B2).

*Soft Skills*
- Strong analytical and synthesis abilities.
- Teamwork and project management skills.
- Organizational skills, autonomy, and adaptability.

'''Additional Information'''

Position based at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris 13th).
24-month fixed-term contract, available immediately.
Benefits include meal vouchers and employer-supported health insurance.
