Postdoc positions are available at the
Laboratory of Molecular Imaging, Singapore Bioimaging Consortium (SBIC)
in Singapore.
The research focus is on the identification of MRI-based imaging
biomarkers for early detection of neurodegenerative diseases using small
animal disease models. Approaches include targeting contrast agents,
manganese enhanced MRI, functional MRI (BOLD, CBF, CBV), diffusion
tensor imaging, and chemical exchange saturation transfer. We have very
active interdisciplinary research teams consisting of people with
engineering, biochemistry, physics, chemistry, biology, and neuroscience
backgrounds.
The successful candidate will also have chance to work with scientists
at the Clinical Imaging Research Center (CIRC) to translate the
identified biomarkers into clinical applications. The center currently
hosts a Siemens 3T TIM Trio system with the latest hardware techniques
from Siemens and is expanding to include more modalities and higher
field MRI.
Facility and Equipment:
SBIC locates in the Helios building in the Biopolis campus. The lab
currently hosts a Varian 9.4T MRI, a Bruker 7T ClinScan MRI, a 400MHz
NMR and a NanoSPECT/CT. A microPET will be added soon. Other facilities
include a chemistry lab for imaging probe development, a wet lab for
developing transgenic animal models, and the SBIC-Nikon imaging center,
which hosts all the advanced live cell imaging systems by Nikon. For
further information about SBIC, please visit our website:

Qualifications:
We welcome highly-motivated people who are interested in exploring new
possibility and working in Singapore to apply. Preferred background
includes, but not limited to, neuroscience, biomedical engineering,
physics, and chemistry. Previous experiences with MRI and animal
experiments will be given special consideration but not necessary.
