Postdoctoral Fellow; Biomedical Optics

Overview

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to join Dr. Suter's Pulmonary Optical Imaging Laboratory at the Massachusetts General Hospital within the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. A Harvard Medical School appointment will be at the postdoctoral rank. The successful candidate will work within a highly collaborative research environment focused on the development and use of optical diagnostics for studying the lungs.

The position will involve the use of novel optical imaging systems including polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography to assess lung disease. Candidates will be required to conduct preclinical and clinical studies.

• Conduct preclinical and clinical studies using optical imaging systems (including polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography) to assess lung disease.
• Collaborate within a multidisciplinary team to develop and apply optical diagnostics for lung research.

• A doctorate degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline.
• Experience with optics and optical systems.

• Biomedical imaging
• Image Analysis
• Data Processing & Analysis
• Programming (Matlab, C/C++, Python)
• Optical fiber
• Scientific paper writing

• Self-motivated
• Capable of working effectively both independently and as part of a team
• Willing and eager to learn new skills and explore novel ideas

The Suter Lab is a well-funded but smaller lab, and candidates who are both versatile and motivated will find significant opportunity for growth and increased responsibility.

Interested candidates should send their detailed curriculum vitae, a cover letter describing relevant training and research experience, and the names and contact information of three referees to Dr. David Adams, PhD . Please reference the position you are applying for in the subject line.
