Postdoctoral Position in Nuclear Medical Imaging Technology and Simulation

Position: A postdoctoral position is available in the Cherry laboratory 
in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UC Davis 
(http://bme.ucdavis.edu/cherrylab/). We are looking for highly motivated 
individuals with an interest in nuclear medicine imaging detector 
development and simulation. Applicants should have a doctoral degree in 
biomedical engineering, medical imaging, or image / signal processing. 
Expertise in nuclear imaging, Monte Carlo simulation, and high 
proficiency in computer programming is preferred. The successful 
applicant will develop new algorithms for optical Monte Carlo simulation 
and will collaborate with scientists in our group to apply these 
developments to novel fast detectors for positron emission tomography. 
This project is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and 
aims at pursuing the development of optical Monte Carlo tools for 
ultimate incorporation into the GATE software platform that is widely 
used around the world.

University of California, Davis: The University is ranked 6th among U.S. 
public universities and the Department of Biomedical Engineering is 
ranked 14th in the nation in research expenditures by the NSF. Through 
close collaboration between the School of Veterinary Medicine (ranked 
1st worldwide), the School of Medicine, and the College of Engineering, 
UC Davis provides unique opportunities for multidisciplinary and 
translational research. UC Davis is located in Northern California, 
within easy reach of Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Napa Valley, Yosemite 
and the Northern California coast.

Application: Qualified candidates can apply by sending their CV, the 
names of two references, and a short statement of research interests to 
Dr. Emilie Roncali (eroncali at ucdavis.edu).
