Post-doctoral Fellowship Opportunities Available through an NIH Diversity Supplement

Several post-doctoral fellowship positions are available through an NIH diversity supplement to underrepresented minorities in the sciences from any of the following disciplines: Chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, neuroscience, neurology, immunology, biomolecular engineering, bioengineering or a related discipline.

The new team member will join a highly interdisciplinary molecular & cellular imaging research program and will work on several interdisciplinary projects, including (but not be limited to): 1) Designing and synthesizing small molecular imaging probes and therapeutic agents. 2) Using multi-modal imaging (fluorescence, MRI, PET/SPECT) and complementary histology & immunohistochemistry (IHC) validation techniques to probe the pathogenesis of neuro-oncology related disorders. 3) Elucidating the mechanism of action of several theranostic agents & bioengineering strategies to enhance the delivery of drugs & nanoparticles to diseased tissues.

A strong commitment to the projects and a desire to learn new techniques is required. Good written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work both independently and in a group setting are important. Opportunities will be available for the post-doctoral fellow to attend and present at scientific conferences.

These positions have renewable annual appointments pending satisfactory performance. These positions will remain open until filled.
