Positions

Postdoc, Research Engineer, and Graduate Student Research Positions are Available !!!

There are several research positions. We focus on non-invasive, quantitative functional, and molecular optical imaging techniques for neuromonitoring, cancer imaging, and therapy monitoring, as well as for monitoring engineered 3D tissue constructs for regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and neural systems in preclinical and clinical settings. The position offers a stimulating work environment integrating engineering and physics with medicine, neuroscience, and biology. The candidate will have a unique opportunity in both basic lab and translational research by collaborating with scientists and clinicians located close to the common infrastructure and collaborative institutes, including Medical and Research Centers on the Stony Brook campus and nearby New York City.
