Postdoctoral Fellowship at Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Imaging and Spectroscopic
Physics Laboratory in the Department of Medical Physics at Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The position will entail performing MR
spectroscopy studies in humans for the investigation of cancer
metabolism and related conditions. Projects include proton spectroscopy
and proton-decoupled phosphorus MR spectroscopic imaging in the abdomen
and extremities. The NMR lab currently has funded studies for MRSI in
the liver, as well as in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, sarcoma, and prostate.
The position will entail acquisition of the data, processing, and
writing up the results for publication. The interested candidate will
also be encouraged to develop his/her own projects in clinical
spectroscopy. The candidate should have a strong background in MR
physics and an interest in spectroscopic applications to the biology of
cancer. Experience in MR spectroscopy is advantageous but not essential.
The in vivo NMR Laboratory
investigates the uses of magnetic resonance for studying tumor
metabolism, pharmacology and responses to treatment. These studies are
done on patients, animal tumor model systems, and cells. MSKCC has
multiple 1.5 T clinical scanners as well as a 3T clinical scanner with
multinuclear capability. In addition, the Imaging and Spectroscopic
Physics Laboratory is equipped with 4.7 and 7T horizontal bore small
animal scanners, an electronics laboratory, chemistry lab, and multiple
PC and SUN workstations. Salary commensurate with experience. Excellent
benefits.
