Position Description: | Postdoctoral Associates in Physiologic Pulmonary Imaging With Engineering or Epidemiological Backgrounds Overview: Postdoctoral Associate Physiologic Pulmonary Imaging: Salary commensurate. A doctoral degree is required. Two positions are open. Applicants should have a strong background in quantitative medical imaging and: 1) image processing of the cardiopulmonary system or 2) a strong epidemiological background allowing them to utilize the output of quantitative imaging methods for the evaluation of lung disease. Challenging projects relate to the over-all goal of using multi-spectral dual energy CT and hyperpolarized xenon MR imaging for a comprehensive evaluation of lung structure and function. The candidate will participate in an integrated set of projects aimed at developing a model of the normal human lung against which individuals can be compared to identify and evaluate early pathologic processes. Challenging aspects include image segmentation of the lung, lobes, airways, and vascular tree; extending our tissue characterization software to include 3D anatomic features as well as features representing regional function; developing and testing methods for regional blood flow and ventilation; and utilizing output of quantitative image analysis methods together with subject demographic data to identify novel disease phenotypes. The candidates will work within a highly multi-disciplinary team of physicians, physiologists, electrical and biomedical engineers and computer scientists and have available dedicated state-of-the-art computing and imaging facilities. A specific project involves the use of imaging to follow the changes in lung structure and function through a smoking cessation program. There are two positions available: one with a stronger engineering development focus and a second with a stronger focus on the use of the imaging and associated subject demographics to establish disease phenotypes.
