We are looking for highly motivated individuals to develop advanced optical devices and imaging techniques for novel biomedical applications in vitro and/orin vivo. We have two positions available immediately, one focuses on developing Silicon-based photonic devices for optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the other position focuses on ophthalmic OCT system development. Successful candidates will have opportunities to collaborate with top academic and industry partners. Compensation is commensurate with experience.
Available Subjects:
Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Physics Biomedical Engineering, or related fields.
Eligibility criteria:
The candidate is expected to work on one of the following research areas and/or develop new research directions Space-division mutiplexing OCT; Silicon based photonic device design and fabrication, OCT angiography ophthalmic OCT instrument and applications, polarization sensitive OCT; and OCT probe development.
- Position #1:hands-on experience with Silicon photonics design and fabrication.
- Position #2: hands-on experience with ophthalmic imaging in human and/or animal models.
- Good publication record and communication skills.
- R&D experience with OCT, including spectral-domain and swept-source OCT, is a plus.
Application Procedure:
Interested candidates should submit a research statement, an updated CV with a list of at least three references. and three representative journal publications by email in PDF format to Dr.Chao Zhou ([email protected]) with “Postdoc Application” in the subject.
