Qualifications:

1. Postdoc position in Photoacoustic Imaging Instrumentation. The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to the design, development and optimization of a photoacoustic tomography system for infant brain imaging. Some of responsibilities include conducting phantom and animal imaging experiments, data analysis. More details about the projects will be discussed during the interview (the candidates are highly encouraged to study the research topics in OPIRA lab under https: // www. opira-avanaki.com/research before they apply). This project is hosted by the Biomedical Engineering Department at UIC, collaborating with UIC Medical School, Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Michigan and Harvard Medical School. Requirements for this position include: (a) a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, or Biomedical Physics; (b) a strong background in design and development of imaging system instrumentation, especially optical and ultrasound imaging; (c) strong Matlab (required) and Labview programming (required); (d) ability to work independently and in a multi-disciplinary team environment; (e) experience with optical system design, machine learning and GPU programing are plus. The successful candidate will be expected to publish significant research findings and must have excellent verbal and written English communication skills.
