Position Summary

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Rice University in conjunction with the Rice Neuroengineering Initiative (NEI) has one immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work at the intersection of computational imaging and microscopy to create a full-cortex imaging system for freely moving rodents based on FlatCam/FlatScope technology. FlatCam is a new lensless imaging technology that can potentially turn flat, curved or flexible surfaces into cameras.

To create this first whole-cortex imaging system for freely moving rodents we are looking for highly motivated and qualified postdoctoral fellows with computational imaging backgrounds and/or microscopy and optics backgrounds (particularly in vivo calcium of voltage imaging). The successful applicants will assume a lead role in developing and testing the first-of-its-kind FlatScope system, collaborating with exceptional PhD students, faculty and collaborators from Rice.

Education Required: PhD or other Doctoral Degree

Major/Discipline: Computer engineering or electrical engineering and/or neuroscience/neuroengineering with a strong background in computational imaging or microscopy.

Experience Required:  4 years

Type of Experience: Research experience in lab. Lab experience as a student will qualify for this requirement.

Skills Required:Fluorescence microscopy and/or algorithm development skill.

Skills Preferred: Familiarity with algorithm development and microscopy is preferred.

Physical Demands: Should be able to lift up to 25 pounds (moving computers and other related equipment). Must be able to work at a computer for extended periods of time (up to eight hours).

Working Conditions : Monday through Friday, flexible hours during normal 40 hour work week.

Security Sensitive: Yes
