Description: Two postdoctoral positions in the Biomedical Acoustics Laboratory are available for research on therapeutic applications of ultrasound, including two projects: (1) ultrasound echo decorrelation imaging for monitoring of thermal ablation in clinical cancer therapy, and (2) high-frequency elastographic imaging of the human skin. The postdoctoral fellows will be joining a collaborative team including the Principal Investigator, clinicians in surgery, radiology, and pathology, a biostatistician, industry partners, Biomedical Engineering undergraduate and graduate students, and colleagues in the University of Cincinnati's Image-guided Ultrasound Therapeutics Laboratories. The postdoctoral fellows will collaborate on design and implementation of novel ultrasound imaging methods, image data analysis, and experimental design, execution, and hypothesis testing. They will collaborate on experiments in laboratory (phantom and ex vivo tissue), preclinical (animal experiments) and clinical (human subjects) settings, and will mentor graduate and undergraduate research assistants.

Minimum qualifications: Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in biomedical engineering, physics, or a related engineering or science discipline.

Additional Information: Preference will be given to applicants with experience in biomedical ultrasound instrumentation, computer programming (MATLAB and C++), biomedical signal and image processing, and physical acoustics including numerical and analytic modeling.

Application Process: Create an Applicant Profile at http://jobs.uc.edu and upload a current CV/Resume and cover letter. Officially apply to position #26160. Under the 'Additional Documents' section, upload a copy of your transcript showing Ph.D. completion; official academic transcripts will be required upon selection for hire.
