Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (Optical Coherence Tomography)
Location:
Boston, MA
Description:
Job Description - Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (Optical Coherence Tomography) (3306317)Employer DescriptionMassachusetts General HospitalThe Tearney Lab is an 80+ person multidisciplinary lab led by Guillermo (Gary) Tearney, MD, PhD. The goal of the Tearney Lab is to see every cell in the human body so that disease can be detected at its earliest stages when it can be cured.To this end, the lab has pioneered multiple optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices that enable 3D imaging at the microscopic scale in living human patients. These technologies include multimodality OCT where OCT is combined with spectroscopy, fluorescence, and other optical techniques, ultrahigh-resolution OCT ( -OCT) where the resolution is sufficiently detailed to visualize individual cells, and functional OCT that measures the function and metabolism of cells in living systems. These technologies are implemented in a variety of devices (endoscopes, catheters, capsules, implantable) that provide accessible imaging anywhere inside the body.Job DescriptionThe role will: Develop novel OCT based-devices for in-vivo imaging including high-resolution micro-OCT, dynamic OCT, fluorescence OCT, white light OCT, diffuse reflectance OCT, and OCT combined with ultrasound. Develop novel optical devices based on other optical modalities such as spectrally encoded confocal microscopy, and photoacoustics. Implement technologies in one or more of the following organ systems: heart, lungs, brain, ears, gastrointestinal tract. Guide research questions, design studies, and monitor the execution of those studies. Guide and oversee engineers and technicians on the research aspects of your projects and ensure they are being done to a scientifically valid and publishable standard. Hold regular technical meetings, set the agenda, and outline a sequence of work for technicians and engineers to follow. Publish in world-leading high impact journals. Deliver milestones on time.This appointment will be made at the rank of postdoctoral fellow or instructor at Harvard Medical School, commensurate with the applicant's experience.Job RequirementsA PhD (or equivalent) in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field is required.Required skills A strong background in optical coherence tomography along with multiple publications. A strong grounding in fundamental optics theory. A strong understanding of tissue optical properties.Desired skills Experience in modeling of light/tissue interactions. A background in fiber probe design (e.g., ball lens, grin lens) including proximal and distal scanning. Strong computational background. A practical understanding of hardware control of optical and related instrumentation to include a working understanding of analog/digital circuits. An organized and creative problem-solver.Contact InformationInterested candidates are encouraged to send a CV accompanied by a cover letter describing any previous research training, specific areas of interest, and contact information for three letters of reference. Address correspondence to Dr. Gary Tearney, note the position you are applying for in the subject line, and send by email to XXXX@partners.org.MGH is an equal opportunity employer. #J-18808-Ljbffr
