Post-doctoral Fellow

Job Description - Post-doctoral Fellow (3289496)The Center for Precision Imaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital Martinos Center/Harvard Medical School has openings for highly qualified individuals at the postdoctoral level with strong imaging backgrounds to work on PET molecular imaging projects. Our Center is at the forefront of personalized PET molecular imaging and we are working to pioneer novel precision imaging and therapy approaches.We have a long-standing interest in developing and translating targeted biological PET probes for improved tumor characterization for personalizing cancer treatment and autoimmune conditions. Over the past decade, we have produced many PET and optical imaging probes for assessing immune system activation, receptor imaging, imaging of the tumor microenvironment and interrogation of metabolome. Our group has led some of the first efforts to diagnose therapeutic resistance through receptor imaging and feedback loop signaling, monitor and predict the immune response in cancer immunotherapy and utilize targeted imaging to determine effective therapy dosing, among others. These efforts have led to two first-in-human imaging agents, most recently 68Ga-NOTA-hGZP for imaging granzyme B, currently in open trials for clinical validation.We are seeking candidates for a postdoctoral fellowship focusing on the applications of PET imaging agents and targeted radiotherapeutics while working closely with a team of experts in molecular cancer imaging, molecular biology, immuno-oncology, interventional oncology, and radioligand therapy.Minimum Requirements:PhD or MD.Background in small animal PET image acquisition and analysis.Basic radiometal labeling, kinetic modeling and/or working with animal models.Prior experience in basic laboratory techniques such as cell culture, Western blot, and immunofluorescence is preferred.Successful candidate(s) should have a proven track record of continued achievement and be self-motivated with a strong work ethic, a commitment to teamwork and effective communication skills.If you are interested, please contact the CPI by sending an email to umahmood@mgh.harvard.edu or applying here.Massachusetts General Hospital is an Equal Opportunity Employer. By embracing diverse skills, perspectives, and ideas, we choose to lead. Applications from protected veterans and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged.Primary Location
