Post Doctoral Molecular Biologist : Stanford, CA, United States

Molecular Biologist Position in the Translational Molecular Imaging Laboratory

A postdoctoral position is available, in the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS), Department of Radiology, for a highly-qualified and creative scientist, with excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to work collaboratively with faculty and staff. We highly value self-motivation, independence and creativity.

Our lab focuses on the development and testing of molecular imaging strategies that can be readily translated into the clinic, for improved patient care. The successful candidate will work under the direct mentorship of Dr. Juergen Willmann, who also holds a clinical appointment at Stanford Hospital that allows clinically translational research.

The candidate must have a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. with profound experience in molecular or cell biology. The successful candidate will work on the development and testing of novel, NIH-funded, molecular imaging strategies for early detection of cancer, monitoring of drug therapy, and development of image-guided therapeutic strategies in cancer and inflammatory diseases.

The Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford is a diverse research environment bringing together several Departments, including the Stanford Schools of Medicine and Engineering, and combines the disciplines of chemistry, cell/molecular biology, molecular pharmacology, physics, bioengineering, imaging sciences, and clinical medicine to advance disease diagnosis and management. It is a rich and stimulating scientific environment with plenty of career development opportunities for motivated scientists.

Salary is based on University guidelines for postdoctoral fellows, and will be commensurate with experience. Stanford University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
