MSCA-DN PhD position: brain large axial field of view PET/CT Questions? Copy Link € 3.217 - € 4.077 36 hours per week Locatie VUmc training React until: 27 August 2026 The project You will join PREFERENCE, an international Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral network dedicated to advancing large axial field of view (LAFOV) PET/CT imaging. PREFERENCE brings together 12 academic institutions and several industrial partners with extensive expertise in quantitative imaging, image analysis and imaging technology. By conducting research in both academic and industrial settings, PhD candidates within PREFERENCE receive interdisciplinary training and develop a unique combination of scientific, technical and transferable skills. The consortium aims to develop new LAFOV PET/CT methodologies and apply them in clinical studies across different disease areas to generate novel biological insights. As part of the network-wide training programme, you will collaborate with leading international experts and complete research visits at partner institutes across Europe. This project has received funding from the European Union under the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme. Within this project, you will develop new image analysis methodologies for less invasive and non-invasive quantitative brain PET studies using LAFOV PET/CT. You will work on model-independent kinetic analysis methods, develop connectivity analysis techniques for dyna...
