The Center for Advanced Imaging Innovation and Research at NYU Langone Health invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in diffusion imaging and genomic biomarkers of osteoarthritis.
The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team of researchers and physicians on two five-year, NIH-supported investigations to develop and validate imaging, biomechanical, and genomic biomarkers of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).
The postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to work on both clinical and preclinical research. The clinical project is focused on the use of diffusion tensor imaging at 3 Tesla to assess and predict the evolution of joint damage conducive to PTOA. The preclinical project is aimed the use of a multimodal molecular imaging approach to characterize early events after joint injury.
The postdoctoral fellow will work on protocol development, image acquisition, image processing, image analysis, and biological modeling for data interpretation. A motivated person in this role will have the opportunity to engage in independent research within the context of the study and to collaborate with top-tier clinicians and imaging scientists at NYU Langone Health.
Qualifications
The position is open to candidates with a PhD degree in physics, biomedical engineering, or electrical engineering. Preference will be given to those with a strong background in MRI physics, data processing, and musculoskeletal imaging. A record of publication in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals is mandatory.
