The Functional and Molecular Imaging Laboratory, jointly affiliated with the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, seeks for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to develop new groundbreaking methods for noninvasive monitoring of ultrasound-based treatments of neurodegenerative diseases.

Our Lab is devoted to development of novel structural, functional, metabolic and molecular imaging systems and methods. State-of-the-art infrastructure for in vivo imaging includes advanced multi-spectral optoacoustic tomography, high-field magnetic resonance scanners, fluorescence microscopy, ultrafast ultrasound, as well as hybrid imaging platforms not available elsewhere. The preclinical phase of the project will mainly focus on studies in mouse models, with clinical translation of the methodology expected at a later stage.

• Development of hardware and software for noninvasive monitoring of brain therapies using optoacoustic and multimodal imaging methods
• Method validation in preclinical models
• Data processing and analysis
• Coordination with an industrial partner leading the development of therapeutic devices

• PhD degree in physics, biomedical or electrical engineering, neuroscience or related fields
• Prior expertise in imaging methods (experience with in vivo imaging is a plus)
• Excellent scientific publication record
• Good algorithmic and programming skills
• Strong interest in an academic career
• Excellent command of English, self-motivation, goal-oriented and positive attitude

• 2 years postdoctoral position, extendable based on performance and funding situation
• Working in a world top research institution with international, multi-disciplinary, highly innovative, well-equipped and scientifically stimulating environment
• Excellent training, career development and exchange opportunities
