Job Description
The ideal candidate will develop projects related to applying ultrasound imaging and other physiological approaches to understand the mechanisms underlying islet microvasculature dysfunction and blood flow changes in type1 diabetes. This can also include applying advanced signal processing approaches for high resolution imaging, developing computational models of islet blood flow changes; characterizing and applying novel ultrasound contrast agents including molecular targeted agents; and use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in ongoing clinical studies.
The candidate will also have resources and mentoring to develop their own research interests and to develop new research skills. The candidate can also optionally mentor junior scientists, give guest lectures and receive guidance in writing fellowship applications. They must be highly motivated and willing to learn new techniques and approaches, and able to work in an interdisciplinary team
