The Tearney Laboratory at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, is recruiting for an Instructor faculty position at Harvard Medical School. The Tearney Lab pioneers the invention, development, and translation of new non-invasive, high-resolution optical imaging modalities that enable disease diagnosis from living patients without excising tissues from the body. One of the most powerful such technologies is optical coherence tomography (OCT) that captures cross-sectional and three-dimensional microscopic images of tissue.
We are seeking a motivated researcher to join our team to play a direct role in advancing our research and scientific agenda. The Instructor will work in a highly collaborative setting, frequently interacting with the research, development, and clinical teams within the lab, as well as internal and external collaborators, including basic science and translational researchers, commercialization specialists, and industry collaborators. In addition to mastering technical expertise within the field of biomedical optics/engineering, this role will also provide a unique opportunity to build clinical, research, publication, and leadership experience. The ideal candidate for this position is an organized and creative problem-solver with substantial experience with OCT research. Expertise in advanced optics, biomedical engineering, computational methods, and/or image analysis is a plus. The candidate should also be capable of leading multidisciplinary research teams
- A PhD (or equivalent) in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related field
- Demonstrated excellence in OCT technology development
- Demonstrated capacity and interest to apply science and engineering principles to solve clinical problems
- Excellent organizational and communication skills
- Strong academic publication record
- Skill in technical writing, presentation, and teaching
- Experience working in a multi-functional team setting
- Evidence of emerging independence as an investigator
Supervisory Responsibility:
