Stanford University Postdoctoral Position in the Translational Molecular Imaging Laboratory in the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford, Dept of Radiology A postdoctoral position in the Translational Molecular Imaging Laboratory (TMIL) of the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS), Department of Radiology is available for a highly-qualified and creative scientist with excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to work collaboratively with faculty and staff. The TMIL focuses on development and testing of molecular imaging strategies that can be readily translated into the clinic for improved patient care. The successful candidate will work under the direct mentorship of Dr. Willmann who also holds a clinical appointment at Stanford Hospital that allows clinically translational research. The candidate must have a Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., or MD. degree with extensive knowledge and experience in molecular biology, cell biology, bioengineering, chemistry, biochemistry, or related fields. Preference will be given to candidates with a combination of the following skills: cell culture and assays, molecular biology techniques including construction of genetic vectors, pathology and common tissue staining techniques, animal models of human diseases, and animal handling. Prior experience in molecular imaging modalities are preferred but are not pre-requisites for this position. The successful application will work on the development and testing of novel NIH-funded molecular imaging strategies for early detection of cancer, monitoring of drug therapy, and development of novel therapeutic strategies in cancer and inflammatory diseases. The Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford is a diverse research environment bringing together several Departments, including the Stanford Schools of Medicine and Engineering, and combines the disciplines of chemistry, cell/molecular biology, molecular pharmacology, physics, bioengineering, imaging sciences, and clinical medicine to advance disease diagnosis and management. It is a rich and stimulating scientific environment with plenty of career development opportunities for motivated scientists. A minimum 2-year commitment is required for this position.
