Dear Confocal Listserv,
I am posting this to the listserv on behalf of Prof. David Mayerich, 
University of Houston. The ad below is focused on postdoctoral 
positions. I added to the subject line Graduate Students because 
http://stim.ee.uh.edu/personnel/available-positions/ also lists 
available positions for graduate student -- and undergraduate 
researchers too. David is pretty new to Houston, is well funded -- see 
News section of http://stim.ee.uh.edu/ -- and there are opportunities to 
connect with collaborators, including CooperLab
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Laurence-Cooper-Cell-Therapy/195075373908115
that I am in.
Sincerely,
George

Postdoctoral fellowships available in 3D and spectroscopic image 
processing and analysis.

The STIM Laboratory is a new research group in the Department of 
Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Houston. We 
have open positions for postdoctoral fellows interested in 3D and 
spectroscopic imaging and image processing. This work will focus on 
developing new data processing methods for disease diagnosis, with a 
particular focus on cancer imaging using various optical techniques 
including confocal microscopy, SPIM, and mid-infrared microscopy. 
Funding is available to support fellowships for up to four years.

Location:

The University of Houston is classified as a “Tier One” (Carnegie RU/VH) 
research university, and is one of four major research universities in 
Texas. We are located in central Houston, which is the fourth largest 
city in the United States and a central player in both energy and 
biomedical research. Houston is currently the top city in the U.S. for 
job creation, and is home to more than 20 Fortune 500 companies. We have 
a strong industrial and academic research focus, including both NASA and 
the Texas Medical Center, which is the largest medical center in the world.

Qualifications:

* Completed a doctoral degree in electrical engineering, computer 
science, mechanical engineering, or a field directly related to 3D or 
spectroscopic image processing (including data mining, visualization, 
and machine learning).

* Demonstrate a strong potential for successful research in data 
analysis or data collection. We are currently focused on developing 
methods for collecting and processing large-scale images of tissue 
biopsies using mid-infrared spectroscopic imaging. This will require 
extensive collaboration with clinical colleagues at the nearby Texas 
Medical Center, including the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

* Willingness to provide support to both undergraduate and graduate 
students through mentoring and collaboration.

* The ability to work independently on interdisciplinary projects, 
developing a strong collaborative relationship with clinicians and other 
colleagues outside of your own field.

* Proficiency in both written and oral English.

Application:

Interested scientists should send their CV and a description of their 
research interests to [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
