Research Fellow, Radiology

Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary

Boston, MA, US
Fully remote
Time domain optical imaging
Fluorescence lifetime imaging
Cancer, neuropathology, cardiac disease research
The fellow will specifically work on novel time domain (fluorescence lifetime-based) optical imaging technologies for clinical and preclinical applications in cancer, neuropathology, and cardiac disease

Job Summary

  • The fellow will specifically work on novel time domain (fluorescence lifetime-based) optical imaging technologies for clinical and preclinical applications in cancer, neuropathology, and cardiac disease.
  • Depending on the candidate’s experience, proficiency and career goals, the research can focus on a combination of the following areas: development, maintenance and operation of optical imaging systems and image reconstruction algorithms, developing and designing animal and human protocols, performing preclinical imaging studies with simple animal procedures (surgery, anesthesia etc.,), performing in vitro cell culture and ex vivo histology and microscopy studies, and conducting clinical studies for image guided surgery and diagnostics.
  • This is an exciting opportunity to work in clinical and preclinical fluorescence molecular imaging, which combines the use of cutting edge imaging technology, recent advances in our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of disease and advances in development of molecular probes to target disease pathology in vivo.
