Deadline: 21 August, 2024
Research Institute: The Tearney Lab
Lab: Tearney Lab – Wellman Center for Photo medicine
Location: Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Job Description:
· Develop novel fiber optic probes, develop novel illumination and detection systems with suitable sensitivities for biological imaging
· Develop novel optical devices based on optical modalities such as spectrally encoded confocal microscopy, multi-photon microscopy, and photoacoustics.
· Develop novel OCT based-devices for in-vivo imaging including high-resolution micro-OCT, dynamic OCT, fluorescence OCT, white light OCT, diffuse reflectance OCT, and OCT combined with ultrasound
· Implement technologies in one or more of the following organ systems: heart, lungs, brain, ears, and the gastrointestinal tract
· Guide research questions, design studies, and monitor the execution of those studies
· Guide and oversee engineers and technicians on the research aspects of your projects and ensure they are being done to a scientifically valid and publishable standard
· Hold regular technical meetings, set the agenda, and outline a sequence of work for technicians and engineers to follow
· Publish in world-leading high impact journals
· Deliver milestones on time
Degree Requirement:
A PhD (or equivalent) in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field is required.
Required skills:
· Demonstrated excellence in one of the various forms of optical coherence tomography, confocal microscopy, or other in vivo microscopy techniques is required
· Expertise in one or more of the following areas is desired: optical imaging systems, optical design, circuit design, optical system fabrication, fiber optic systems and components, broadband light source development, spectroscopy, image processing, programming, and clinical studies with novel devices
· A strong grounding in fundamental optics theory including fiber optic light guides
· A strong understanding of tissue optical properties
Desired skills:
· Experience in light/tissue interactions and optical transport modelling
· A background in fiber probe design (e.g., ball lens, grin lens) including proximal and distal scanning
· Background in physics preferred
· Strong computational background
· A practical understanding of hardware control of optical and related instrumentation to include a working understanding of analog/digital circuits
· Experience with real-time processing of optical data
· An organized and creative problem-solver
How to apply:
· Interested candidates are encouraged to send a CV accompanied by a cover letter describing any previous research training, specific areas of interest, and contact information for three letters of reference.
· Address correspondence to Dr. Gary Tearney, note the position you are applying for in the subject line, and send by email to tearneylabsearch@partners.org
