The Frangioni Laboratory seeks talented and motivated post-doctoral fellows and staff with a strong background in science, medicine, or research, as well as a history of producing peer-reviewed manuscripts. Post-doctoral positions are available throughout the year in two main areas: engineering and chemistry.

Working in the Frangioni Lab places you in the center of the Longwood Medical Area of Harvard Medical School, with access to superb human and technical resources. From the training provided by the laboratory, current and previous fellows have built strong careers in the field of molecular imaging.

Although the laboratory is always seeking to expand its pool of talented researchers, we give priority consideration to self-funded fellows. We also require a two-year commitment to the laboratory.

If you would like to be considered for a position, please contact us and provide an updated C.V. or NIH Biosketch, a short personal statement (1–2 paragraphs), and three references.

LONGWOOD SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGIST

The Longwood Small Animal Imaging Facility seeks a self-motivated Research Assistant who will be responsible for small animal imaging using fluorescence, bioluminescence, SPECT, PET, and CT. The candidate will be responsible for animal handling, anesthesia, experimentation, and data analysis for customers of the Longwood SAIF. The candidate will work closely under the supervision of the Principal Investigator and other trained staff.

At least 1 to 2 years practical experience working with rodents, including adeptness in tail vein injection, is necessary. The candidate is expected to develop a fundamental understanding of the physics and chemistry of small animal imaging. A willingness to work with daily with gamma-emitting radioactivity is also required. The candidate must provide evidence that he/she is capable of working in a busy, intense, yet collaborative work environment, and that he/she can work independently on assigned projects.

If you would like to be considered for a position, please contact us and provide an updated C.V. or NIH Biosketch, a short personal statement (1–2 paragraphs), and three references.

Will train in preparation of NIH forms PHS398 and SF424, although working familiarity with these documents is preferred.

POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN IN VIVO NEAR--INFRARED IMAGING

The Frangioni Laboratory at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center of Harvard Medical School is seeking a post-doctoral fellow experienced in biomedical optics. Projects include the use of spatially-modulated near-infrared light to measure tissue optical properties in vivo, and the design and construction of minimally-invasive fiberoptic imaging systems. Candidate will be trained in the clinical translation of new imaging devices and contrast agents.

Candidate must have a Ph.D. from a respected laboratory in biomedical optics and first author papers in the field. Candidate should be self-motivated and capable of working independently, but must also be capable of working in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team environment. More information on Dr. Frangioni’s laboratory can be found at www.frangionilab.org. Please send CV and letter of interest to Ms. Lori Moffitt at lmoffitt@bidmc.harvard.edu.
