Research Fellow Position in Optical Imaging
Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Radiology, Athinoula A. Martinos Center for
Biomedical Imaging and Harvard Medical School
An opening is available for a research fellow in the Optical Molecular Imaging laboratory, at
the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard
Medical School. This is an exciting opportunity to work in the emerging field of molecular imaging,
which combines the use of cutting edge imaging technology with recent advances in our understanding
of the molecular underpinnings of disease and advances in development of molecular probes to target
disease in vivo.
The research fellow will specifically work on novel time domain optical imaging technologies for both
preclinical and clinical applications of cancer, diabetes and cardiac disease. The research fellow is
expected to have a strong interest and involvement in all aspects of the research, including the
development and use of imaging system, acquisition software, physics and mathematics of light
propagation and reconstruction algorithms, small animal procedures (such as injections, post-mortem
surgery) and the writing and maintenance of protocols. There can be some flexibility in the balance
between the biological and engineering aspects of the work depending on the candidate’s proficiency
and career goals, but the candidate should express enthusiasm to learn all aspects of the imaging
technology and explore applications to biological problems.
Requirements: The candidate will ideally will have a PhD degree in biomedical optics. But candidates
with a PhD in pure sciences (chemistry/physics/biology) or engineering who have a strong interest in
applying their skills for biomedical science are also strongly encouraged to apply. Previous experience in
one or more of the following areas would be a strong plus: experimental optics, imaging, computational
physics, partial differential equations, programming experience in the C/C++/Matlab, expertise in
working with animal models of disease.
The Massachusetts General Hospital is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. To apply
please contact: Dr. Anand Kumar at ankumar@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu
