Job description

Description
A postdoctoral position in PET Image Reconstruction research is immediately available in the laboratory of Spencer L. Bowen, Ph.D. in the Department of Radiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The Bowen Lab focuses on advancing PET precision imaging. The researcher will be supported by a new NIH R01-funded project to develop state-of-the-art radiotracer quantification schemes for cardiac PET/MR exams. The lab also has several exciting projects in oncology and neurology that postdoctoral fellow may have the opportunity to work on.
The Department of Radiology at UTSW hosts a world class PET research program. Fellows in The Bowen Lab will have access to state of the art clinical PET systems, including a soon to be upgraded Siemens PET/MR scanner, a cyclotron and radiochemistry program led by Dr. Xiankai Sun, Ph.D., and extensive computing resources, including two modern computer clusters. UT Southwestern Medical School is ranked in Tier 1 (top 16) for research, and is ranked 20th for Cardiology, Heart & Vascular Surgery. There are well established collaborations with Internal Medicine, the Advanced Imaging Research Center, the Simmons Cancer Center, and the Peter O'Donnell Jr. Brain Institute, that the postdoctoral fellow may benefit from.
Qualifications
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in physics, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, or other medical imaging related fields. Expertise in inverse methods or image reconstruction algorithms, computer programming (i.e. C, Matlab), and proficiency in English are required. A successful record of authorship on peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations is recommended. Researchers with a background in the development of PET reconstruction algorithms and data corrections, are particularly encouraged to apply.
Application Instructions
Qualified individuals should send a CV, statement of interests, and a list of three references (preferably as one single PDF-document) by email to Spencer L. Bowen, Ph.D. at Spencer.Bowen@UTSouthwestern.edu with "UTSW postdoc position" in the subject line.
