The Computational Optics Lab at Duke University, led by Dr. Roarke Horstmeyer, is looking to hire a highly motivated Research Associate to join a growing team of students and researchers. Positions are open for applicants with a recent PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Physics or another related discipline, who are interested in working at the intersection of biomedical optics, computational imaging, and machine learning. The Computational Optics Lab currently includes both Biomedical and Electrical Engineers and is located within Duke University’s Fitzpatrick Center for Photonics. The lab is currently focused on research projects that include deep-tissue imaging with diffuse correlation spectroscopy, gigapixel-scale microscope design, and automated solutions for point-of-care imaging diagnostics. Additional details about current projects may be found at the lab website. Desired skills for researchers joining the lab span from having experience with table-top optical experiments to the development of optimization and machine learning software development. The candidate will ideally work with current students in the lab to assist with their projects, and also initiate her or his own projects related to the lab’s current research areas (please see the Computational Optics Lab website: https://horstmeyer.pratt.duke.edu/ .). We are seeking candidates with specific experience in microscopic imaging for virtual fluorescence-based applications. Candidates with a variety of backgrounds and expertise areas will be considered. Applicants should be independent, creative, well-organized, and able to manage multiple and changing priorities as needed to move experiments and the research program forward in a fast-paced environment. Excellent communication skills, a strong commitment to research and work ethic, and a positive attitude are required for this team-based position. Desired Requirements: •A PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Physics, Physics or a related research field •Knowledge of optics, photonics, imaging, image post-processing, optimization, computer vision, machine learning software, and/or other processing tools
•Experience with programming in MATLAB and Python, and/or with machine learning packages such as Pytorch and Tensorflow Duke aspires to create a community built on collaboration, innovation, creativity, and belonging. Our collective success depends on the robust exchange of ideas-an exchange that is best when the rich diversity of our perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences flourishes. To achieve this exchange, it is essential that all members of the community feel secure and welcome, that the contributions of all individuals are respected, and that all voices are heard. All members of our community have a responsibility to uphold these values. |
