Research Associate / Senior Research Associate : Photoacoustic Imaging Instrumentation

The appointment will be full time on UCL Grade 7-8. The salary range will be Grade 7 (Research Associate) £32,699 – £39,523 per annum; Grade 8 (Senior Research Associate) £40,618 – £47,915 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance.

Following on from recent success, applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position to develop novel photoacoustic imaging instrumentation for guiding minimally invasive medical procedures. The project involves developing a new imaging system based upon a clinical ultrasound scanner and conducting in vivo imaging studies. It offers an opportunity to undertake translational research within an internationally leading research group, in close collaboration with clinical partners at local hospitals.

This post is funded for 3 years in the first instance. Further funding to support the post may be available.

The successful candidate will be a physicist or engineer at postdoctoral (or equivalent) level. Sound experimental skills in ultrasound and electrical engineering/applied physics, and proficiency with programming in C and Matlab are required. Experience with some or all of the following would be advantageous: ultrasound signal processing and transducer arrays, biomedical optics, optical spectroscopy, pulsed lasers and in vivo ultrasound or optical measurements. Creativity, self motivation and a willingness to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team are essential.

To be appointed at Grade 8 (Senior Research Associate) candidates will have significant experience as a postdoctoral associate or equivalent private industry experience.
