Post Doctoral Fellow (Computer Science, Electrical and Biomedical Engineering) at Clinical Center, Bethesda, MD

Clinical Center, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area

POST: Post Doctoral Fellow (Computer Science, Electrical and Biomedical Engineering)

The Center for Interventional Oncology (CC & NCI) & the Interventional Radiology Research Laboratory in the Radiology & Imaging Sciences Department of the Clinical Center has postdoctoral fellowship openings for qualified candidates interested in multidisciplinary translational research as part of a team of MD's, PhD's, and MD/PhD's in interventional oncology. Our research group focuses on three areas of interest: 1) Novel drug and device combinations, 2) Multi-modality image fusion and technologies for image guided therapies, such as image guided robotics or electromagnetic navigation, and 3) Novel tumor ablation and interventional devices. Targeted minimally invasive therapies using image guidance are essential tools for closing the gap between diagnosis and therapy. Integration of these targeted therapies into the clinic is a main focus of our translational research center.

Some examples of postdoctoral research projects include: 1) Multimodality image fusion (e.g. CT/MRI/X-ray/Ultrasound/PET), device tracking and real-time image processing for tumor biopsy/ablation guidance, 2) Integration of medical robotics into minimally invasive procedures, 3) Development of CT and/or ultrasound thermometry for ablation monitoring, 4), Design, development and validation of novel interventional devices (e.g. removable IVC filters or endovascular devices), and 5) Investigation of novel guidance solutions in clinical trials.

REQUIREMENTS:

Applicants should hold the PhD, MD or MD/PhD degree. Preferred candidates are those with strong programming skills in Java/C/C++, backgrounds in computer science, electrical engineering or biomedical engineering and an interest in interventional radiology or interventional oncology from a translational science perspective. Experience in device tracking, image processing, and PCB design are desirable.

TO APPLY:

Interested applicants should e-mail a CV, a cover letter outlining their research interest and three references to:
