The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Department of Radiology, Division of Nuclear Medicine is seeking a post-doctoral fellow, to start February 1st, 2014. The research will take place in the Tomographic Image Reconstruction & Analysis Laboratory of Dr. Rahmim, in collaboration with clinical research and imaging experts and an industrial partner, focusing on the development and validation of novel PET imaging techniques for translation into routine clinical imaging. In particular, the post-doctoral fellow will develop innovative oncologic PET/CT image reconstruction, tracer kinetic modeling and tumor quantification algorithms and applications, including simulations and task-based image assessment in the context of dynamic whole-body PET/CT imaging.

Requirements: Qualified candidates will have a Ph.D. in physics, medical 

physics, biomedical or electrical engineering, or a related field, and 

established experience in the field of imaging. The candidate should have a 

strong interest and commitment to research. Creativity with an aim towards 

independent research is highly emphasized. Prior experience in image 

reconstruction, algorithm development, simulations and/or kinetic tracer 

modeling is highly desirable. Knowledge of C programming and familiarity 

with numerical methods is also preferred. 

 

Application: Interested candidates should send a CV, statement of 

research interests and the contacts of three references to Dr. Arman 

Rahmim (arahmim1@jhmi.edu). Review of applications will begin 

immediately and continue until the position is filled.
