Postdoctoral (senior) position in optical neuroimaging

The Medical optics research group led by Prof. Turgut Durduran (http://medicaloptics.projects.icfo.eu), at ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Spain is looking for a highly motivated senior postdoctoral fellow, to join a multi-disciplinary project in near-infrared diffuse optical monitoring and imaging in neurology and neurosurgery.

Description

The candidate is expected to work with a team of Ph.D. students, research engineers and clinical collaborators to develop and test new platforms with portable diffuse optical instrumentation for advanced applications in patient monitoring.

REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS

Candidates must hold an internationally recognized Ph.D.-equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the near future) in a relevant field in physics, bioengineering or electrical engineering.

Scientific background: Previous experience with diffuse optics for medicine including instrumentation as well as theoretical background. Knowledge in dynamic light scattering and time resolved spectroscopic methods are a plus. Demonstrated experience in translational research in particular in clinical settings is a must. A strong publication record and the contact information of three referees is needed.

Computational background must include advanced Matlab/Octave, C/C++ programming, hardware control platforms and signal processing . Demonstrated strength in other similar programming languages/platforms may replace some of the languages.

Experience with opto-electronic instrumentation including photo-multiplier tubes, avalanche photo diodes, photon-counting hardware, basic micro-controller use is a plus.

Persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. No restrictions of citizenship or gender apply to the ICFO positions.
