Postdoctoral Associate

Overview

We are looking for a postdoctoral associate to join the Bini Lab within the Yale PET Center with focus on preclinical and clinical PET/CT and PET/MR imaging in endocrine applications, including diabetes, obesity and metabolism.

Responsibilities involve working with preclinical animal models, preclinical and clinical PET imaging, image analysis, kinetic modeling, data analysis, and results dissemination.

The ideal candidate will have some prior hands-on experience in preclinical PET/CT or PET/MR imaging, image processing and kinetic modeling. A PhD in biomedical engineering, physics, or a related field is required. However, interested candidates with a strong computational background and interest in getting involved in medical imaging and preclinical models are also strongly encouraged to apply. Any wet lab experience for ex vivo tracer validation studies is a plus.

The successful candidate will – based on their research interest – have the opportunity of participating in other PET studies as well, for example, PET connectivity, novel radioligand image-derived input functions, application of novel radioligands for inflammation and metabolism. These projects will open the opportunity to receive extensive training in all areas by experts in these different fields. Primary mentor will Dr.
