Postdoctoral Fellow - Memorial Sloan Kettering

Postdoctoral fellow positions in the NMR section of the Dept. of Medical Physics are available. The In Vivo NMR Laboratory investigates uses of magnetic resonance for studying tumor metabolism, pharmacology and responses to treatment. These studies include both preclinical (cells and small animals) and clinical. In particular, the focus of the candidate would be on molecular imaging and choline metabolism, hypoxia or fluoropyrimidine metabolism. These projects are done in collaboration with strong radiobiology and nuclear medicine programs and there is significant interaction between the different laboratories.

The candidate should have a strong background in MR physics and programming and an interest in the biology of cancer and will interact with scientists and clinicians in multiple departments. The facility is well equipped with both a 7.0T 30 cm and 4.7T 40 cm bore horizontal magnets with a 9.4T in the process of being purchased, five General Electric Signa 1.5T systems, a 3.0T system, a well equipped electronics laboratory and multiple linked SUN workstations. Other facilities include a MicroPET, IVIS bioluminescence imaging, MicroCT and MicroSPECT. Collaborations with other molecular imaging laboratories at MSKCC are possible. Salary commensurate with experience. Contact Dr. J. A. Koutcher (koutchej@mskcc.org) Memorial Sloan Kettering, Dept. of Medical Physics, 1275 York Avenue, NY, NY 10021.
