Dear Dr. Bower,
I have never met you. However, I thought you might be able to help us
or refer our query to someone who might help us identify candidates for
exceptional postdoctoral positions in functional biomedical imaging.
Our PET scanner design, development, and evaluation group is recruiting
potential postdoctoral fellows with a strong mathematics background and
a near term PhD in computer science, physics, or engineering.
Our http://www.crump.ucla.edu/crump/resprojects/microPET/index.html
website provides a nice overview of a recently completed project from
our group -- a prototype high resolution small animal PET scanner --
which is being commercially manufactured and distributed to research
facilities around the world. This 1.8 mm FWHM PET scanner is the very
highest resolution positron camera available today. Our next generation
1.0 mm FWHM PET scanner will maintain our lead role in high resolution
PET technology for several years.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a postdoctoral fellow interested
in the instrumentation side of biomedical imaging to participate in some
of the most advanced PET, PET+MRI, and PET+CT projects in the world.
If you know of an appropriate candidate for one of these positions please
refer them to Simon Cherry (scherry@mednet.ucla.edu) as described below.
Thanks,
Alexander J. Annala, Ph.D.

We have openings for innovative and talented people with a background in
physics, engineering or computer science who wish to join a
multidisciplinary research team involved in developing new high resolution
imaging technology for positron emission tomography. Applicants with
experience in the physics of PET imaging and computer programming are
encouraged to apply. Research projects involve the development, integration
and evaluation of PET imaging systems, high resolution animal imaging,
simultaneous PET/MR imaging, PET imaging in breast cancer and statistical
image reconstruction. Appointments are at the level of postdoctoral fellow
positions.
To apply, please send the following:
your CV
the names of three people familiar with your work and willing to provide
a letter of reference
a statement of why you are interested in joining our group,and what your
overall career goals are.
