Research fellow in optical imaging in Houston, TX, USA.
Title: Research Fellow: optical imaging (CARS, Raman, multiphoton, fluorescence confocal microscopy)
Department: Center of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Employer: The Methodist Hospital Research Institute / Weill Medical College of Cornell University Location: Houston, TX, United States Methodist Hospital Research Institute in Houston, TX is affiliated with Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University. We are working on nonlinear optical imaging (particularly coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) imaging) which includes development of CARS microscopy and microendoscopy systems and their biomedical applications (e.g. cancer diagnosis). Now we are looking for a research fellow to involve in biomedical optical imaging research. It would be better that the candidate has hands-on experience in one or more of the following: optical/fiber optic instrumentation development, biomedical optics, optical microscopy (CARS, Raman, multiphoton, fluorescence confocal microscopy), optical spectroscopy, optical fiber based microscopy/endoscopy. Proficiency in programming using Matlab and Labview is a benefit. Experience with biological and animal studies will be a plus. Requirements: A graduated master student will be the best. Any good students without PhD should be in one of the following discipline: Applied Physics/Biophysics, Optical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biological Sciences, and Electrical Engineering. English needs to be good enough for communications and writing. The candidate will work as a research fellow. The position is immediately available and the expected starting date is around early 2011. Interested applicants please send a resume or any questions to tmhzxw101@yahoo.com. |
