POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW- BIOMEDICAL IMAGING, WEIMER LAB

PostDoc    ·     San Francisco, CA     ·    Full time

THE POSITION

A position is available in the department of Biomedical Imaging (BMI) for a highly motivated and independent candidate to utilize in vivo multi-modal adaptive optics imaging in preclinical models to explore the potential of cellular imaging for monitoring treatment approaches for retinal degenerative disorders.

The department of Biomedical Imaging develops and leverages novel in vivo imaging technologies to address key gaps in drug development.  The imaging modality base within BMI spans microscopy to whole animal nuclear imaging. Technologies developed within the department are applied across drug development, from early preclinical research to clinical application.

The successful candidate will collaborate with scientists in Research and Translational Ophthalmology to evaluate novel preclinical retinal disease models and treatments using state-of-the-art in vivo adaptive optics retinal imaging, reporter mice, iPSC derived cells, histology, and Omics approaches.

Requirements:

• A Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Physics, Neuroscience, Immunology or a related field along with strong programming and optical engineering experience.
• Experience with adaptive optics imaging, in vivo models, omics technologies, and computational biology is highly desired.
• Qualified candidates must also have advanced at least one research project as evidenced by a first author paper published or accepted in a well-recognized peer-reviewed journal.
