Job Description - Post Doctoral Fellow (STA014798)Organization
H0112 PhysicsDescription
Possesses, understands, and applies a comprehensive knowledge in area of specialization. Develops understanding and skills to allow for completion of assignments that cross fields of specialization. Develops leadership and management skills.Responsibilities
Receives/Reviews progress and evaluates results of experiments or projects under control or supervisory responsibility.Recommends changes in research, testing or experimental procedures.May be responsible for a single highly technical and complex piece of research equipment.May review and evaluate the effectiveness of personnel.May plan for and assign personnel to projects under control.Operates with latitude for unreviewed action.May receive general supervision conferring with higher levels only in unusual situations.Performs other job-related duties as required.Additional Posting Information
Advanced Imaging and Image PerceptionKey Words: X-Ray/CT, Photon Counting, Phase Imaging, Multimodality Imaging, Image PerceptionNIH-funded projects on benchtop experimental/prototype imaging system development and algorithms for advanced and multi-modality imaging. Work on system designs, physics models, computation, benchtop experiments with small animals, and clinical translation. Additional areas of interest are in image science and developing low-resource models for human observer detection performance.Preferred Background
X-ray CT, phase contrast and phase retrieval, photon counting detectors, image reconstruction methods, multimodality platforms (including any of the following: PET, SPECT, MRI, US, Optical, Thermal imaging), phantom or small animal imaging, quantitative imaging, imaging biomarkers, radiomics, LROC, ROC, Image perception, mathematical/computational observer models.Skills Preferred
Monte Carlo simulations, benchtop and prototype imaging system design, excellent programming skills, Medipix/Timepix detectors, analytical models, forward, and inverse problems, and prototype system development for clinical translation.Additional Skills for Image Science
Programming, careful data analysis, high-performance computing, shell scripting (c, bash), medical imaging.Qualifications
Candidates with a recent PhD or those anticipating Ph.D. (all relevant areas of science and engineering) in the upcoming year are encouraged to apply for the postdoctoral positions. Opportunities exist for working with industrial and clinical collaborators as well as in developing creative and independent future career paths. Candidates are expected to work closely with graduate and undergraduate students. Those with extensive publications and research experience will also be considered for senior research positions.Please
