RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITIONS in BIOPHOTONIC IMAGING
Posted by Jessica on January 9, 2008 in Research Information and Opportunities
In the Biophotonic Imaging Lab (BIL) at Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) we are looking for candidates to take an active part in the research and development of state-of-the-art optical imaging instrumentation. We focus on non-invasive imaging/monitoring of tumors while being treated with photodynamic therapy (PDT). RPCI offers a stimulating work environment integrating physics and engineering with chemistry, biology and medicine. Several projects are available with a particular focus on novel fluorescence and opto-acoustic imaging to non-invasively investigate novel drugs in PDT monitoring in animals and clinical applications such as human melanoma and breast cancer.
Qualifications:
The qualified candidates should have a strong background in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Medical Physics, Computer Science or related fields. The position is open to undergraduates, graduates and post-doctorates with the future aim of the project becoming a thesis project for undergraduates or graduates in either the Master or PhD program or a 3-year postdoctoral research opportunity at RPCI.
Preferred particular skills are following:
- Previous hands-on experience in instrumentation development, signal
acquisition and processing will be a great asset.
- Excellent background and skills in hardware control and signal processing,
- Data acquisition and analysis,
- Strong programming skills and experience with Matlab, Labview, etc.
