University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
Postdoctoral Fellow - Radiation Oncology (Chung Lab)
University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, United States, 77246
The Chung Lab's major research focus is to utilize advanced medical imaging tools to measure and predict response and toxicity to treatment with novel systemic agents and high precision radiotherapy. This includes the development of AI/ML models, computational models, and research in digital twins. In addition, the lab is working on the standardization and harmonization of imaging data to facilitate meaningful, quantitative imaging-based measurements.
LEARNING OBJECTIVESThe postdoctoral fellow will contribute to research in developing quantitative imaging pipelines and discovery of key imaging parameters that can be utilized for the prediction of treatment response and toxicity ultimately to guide treatment delivery, including adaptive radiotherapy approaches. In addition, the postdoctoral fellow will learn core professional skills including scientific writing and presentation, organization, and communication, as well as leadership and mentorship of undergraduate and graduate students.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTSSuccessful applicants must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree, at least three first author publications, as well as a high level of written and oral communication skills in English.
POSITION INFORMATIONMD Anderson offers full-time postdoc positions with a salary ranging from $64,000 to $76,000 depending on the number of years of postgraduate experience. MD Anderson trainee compensation also includes:Paid medical benefits (zero premium) starting on the first day for trainees who work 30 or more hours per weekGroup dental, vision, life, AD&D, and disability coveragePaid education, vacation, and sick leavePaid institutional holidays, wellness leave, childcare leave, and other paid leave programsTeachers Retirement System defined-benefit pension plan and two voluntary retirement plansEmployer-paid life, AD&D, and an illness-related reduced salary pay programHealth Savings Account and Dependent Care Reimbursement flexible spending accountsFertility benefitsState of Texas longevity payExtensive wellness, fitness, employee health programs, and employee resource groupsFACULTY MENTORDr. Caroline Chung
