Requisition Post Doctoral Research Fellow
Legacy Health, Portland, Oregon, United States, 97201
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Innovative research paves the way for improved patient outcomes. You can be a part of the research that's driving new treatments and procedures at Legacy. In your role, you will provide clinical or scientific expertise to a team working to transform medical care. If you're ready to grow your skills and share in the Legacy mission of making life better for others, we invite you to consider this opportunity. A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available at Legacy Devers Eye Institute, Portland, Oregon. The successful candidate will be responsible for carrying out independent research, working closely with Dr. Kazuhiro Kurokawa and his team at Discoveries in Sight Research Laboratories. A unique and specialized research environment will allow you to address key scientific questions requiring accurate and precise measurements. Specifically, we will leverage the full potential of adaptive optics optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) and fluorescence scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AO-fSLO) to study glaucoma and other neurodegenerative diseases. We encourage you to apply if you want to make a difference. We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with relevant background in the fields of biomedical engineering, ophthalmic imaging, vision science, and ophthalmology. Since the study involves both software and hardware design, development, and delicate implementation, the Postdoctoral Research Fellow is expected to have a strong engineering background as well, especially in the field of computer science and optics. Also, it is critical to have excellent communication skills to work with other colleagues with diverse backgrounds. The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, pay close attention to the details and their environment, and eager to learn basic, translational, and clinical research as well as new imaging technologies.
