A Postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Imaging Physics- Research. The Laboratory research focuses on developing advanced imaging techniques to better understand the tumor microenvironment and investigate new cancer therapeutics, particularly for tumors that are difficult to treat or resistant to traditional therapies. This lab has extensive experience in preclinical cancer models as well as a variety of imaging techniques including iron- and fluorine-19-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic particle imaging (MPI), optical imaging, ultrasound and computed tomography. A major focus of the lab will be expanding the application of MPI in cancer research. The trainee will be involved in the design and execution of experiments using preclinical cancer models, both in vitro and in vivo. They will contribute to the analysis and interpretation of data, and be expected to disseminate research findings through abstracts, presentations at conferences, and manuscript preparation for publication.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The postdoctoral fellow will develop expertise in imaging technique(s), in vitro and in vivo cancer models, the tumor microenvironment, and cancer therapeutics. Together, imaging will be used to target specific cell populations associated with cancer or be used to validate the development and use of novel cancer therapeutics.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
An individual holding a recent (within three years) Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (e.g., Sc.D., M.D., D.V.M.) in an appropriate field who is seeking a temporary appointment, under the supervision of a faculty mentor, involving full-time laboratory-based research or scholarship in preparation for an academic or research career as an independent investigator. This appointment is not part of a clinical training program; individuals holding an M.D. degree or equivalent are not permitted to engage in patient care activity.

ADDITIONAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
Applicants should have earned a Ph.D. in one of the natural sciences, computer sciences, applied mathematics, engineering, or related fields or a medical degree.
