Position: Postdoctoral Research Associate

Location: Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN

Description:

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the Department of

Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University. The objective of our research is to engineer

imaging techniques for the quantitative assessment of molecular and hemodynamic changes

associated with oncogenesis and cancer progression. The Postdoctoral Research Associate

will be involved in the development and application of optical coherence tomography (OCT)

systems for pre-clinical studies and will work in collaboration with engineers and biologists. The

applicant will have access to state-of-the-art resources in biomedical photonics. This position
