Following the award of long-term support from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Frydman and Finkler groups at the Weizmann Institute of Science are embarking on an extraordinary journey; Bridging low-field MRI with Quantum Sensing. The project includes additional collaborators and exchanges with Europe and South America, and for its realization we are on the hire for two passionate and exceptional post-doctoral research associates to work together in:

1. • Combining low-field MRI with optical hyperpolarization;

2. • Development new forms of MRI contrasts that can be remotely activated –e.g., by optical means;

3. • Applications of the above in biomedical research: microstructure, cancer, neurodegeneration.

The Weizmann Institute of Science is, by most research rankings, the top academic institution in Israel and among the top in the world (placed #6 in 2025 according to the Leiden CWTS world ranking). Located in a leafy and picturesque suburb of Tel Aviv at the feet of the Judean hills, it is a 20 minute train ride away from Tel Aviv and 15 miles away from the Ben Gurion International Airport. The official language of the Institute is English, and postdocs are looked after by a dedicated Grad School. The Institute provides furnished apartments either on campus or across a shopping street from the campus; housing aid for Israeli students is also available.

Magnetic Resonance is a significant institutional priority at Weizmann. The Institute has plenty of magnetic resonance instruments at its various departments, including a 1 GHz NMR spectrometer with cryoprobes, pulsed EPR spectrometers, multinuclear animal scanners at 7, 9.4, and 15.2T equipped with cryocoils, 3T and 7T whole-body Prisma and Terra human MRI scanners with massively parallel transmit and receive technologies and multinuclear options, a number of DNP hyperpolarizers, and numerous (dozens) of other scanners and instruments placed in various magnetic resonance buildings.

The Institute is home to over a dozen magnetic resonance spectroscopy, imaging, and spin physics research groups. This creates a uniquely vibrant atmosphere; many leading magnetic resonance researchers have either started or spent some time working at the Weizmann Institute.

The postdoctoral fellowships will be fully funded (all fees and a stipend for 4 years, renewable by mutual agreement on an annual basis) and open to candidates from anywhere in the world.
